- a large collection of GNU and Open Source tools which provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows.
- a DLL (cygwin1.dll) which provides substantial POSIX API functionality.
- Cygwin is not
- a way to run native Linux apps on Windows. You must rebuild your application from source if you want it to run on Windows.
