We unfortunately don't have a package of man pages for our C library
functions. Sorry about that; your best bet is online references. We have all
the standard C library functions, but Cygwin uses newlib rather than glibc so
it doesn't have all the extended functions that you might find in a set of
Linux libc documentation. Functions like printf are defined by the C language
spec, so at least in theory any man page for it should be "close enough".
cheers,
