question: how do I find information about functions (params, return values, etc)

[Viviana Cotirlea]

OK, this is how I worked until now, meaning using google. But at one point I 
thought that in cygwin somewhere there is this information and I'm just not 
able to find it. It seems that there is not, so I wil continue using google 
for this.

Thanks a lot,
viv
