4.1.1. Introduction to Cygwin
Cygwin is a collection of free software tools originally developed by Cygnus Solutions to allow
various versions of Microsoft Windows to act somewhat like a UNIX system. Cygwin is a Linux-like
environment for Windows consisting of two parts:
(1)
A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux emulation layer providing substantial Linux API
functionality.
(2)
A collection of tools that provide users with the Linux look and feel.
