In general, when you need to find out whether some particular file exists in the Cygwin distribution, use the Cygwin package search page at <http://cygwin.com/packages/>. A quick search for "socket\.2" shows that it's not present in any of the packages. This means that the socket(2) manpage doesn't exist in Cygwin. There are two choices: 1) Google: <http://google.com/search?q=man+socket> turns up loads of hits. 2) Help yourself and others: package and offer to maintain a "unix_manpages" Cygwin package. It would, of course, be preferable if you synced the manpages with the Cygwin functionality, instead of just blindly copying, say, the Debian set of man pages.
