I am assuming that English is not your first language.
Cygwin-function doesn't really have a meaning.
Cygwin is a POSIX emulation layer for Windows.
I am inferring from the phrase "Win32's GetCurrentDirectory()"
that you are programming in some compiled language, most likely C or C++.
If the above assumptions are true then you probably need to download
some development documentation.
You probably want the man page for getcwd().
A good place to start reading would be the cygwin website. Especially
parts about problems, asking questions,
the cygwin API, and programming questions.
Good Luck

What's a Cygwin-function for getting the current directory? I don't
want to use Win32's GetCurrentDirectory(), becuase I am developing a
program that I want to be able to port to Linux with smallest possible
effort.
What part of Cygwin's documentation have I failed to notice since I
couldn't answer this question myself?
Thanks for any help!
