7.3.2 User Information – How to use the tools, utilities, and programs in Cygwin
Start a i.MX GNU X-Tools shell and type ‘man‘ and the name of the tool, utility, or program you wish to learn about
at the command prompt. Type ‘q’ to quit ‘man’ pages. The Cygwin CD-ROM provided with the Cygwin version of
i.MX GNU X-Tools has an option to install Cygwin documentation. We highly recommend that you install the
documentation and take advantage of some very powerful programs, tools, and utilities. The documentation that
you have the option of installing is html based and you can find the documentation in a directory named html in the
Cygwin root directory. Create a desktop shortcut if desire to reach the help index in the html subdirectory of
Cygwin. Below is a short description of the tools, utilities, and programs listed above. The best place to get more
information on Cygwin is to go to the Cygwin home page on the web: www.cygwin.com
