The bash shell is fully documented in the info/bash.info file that
should reside under the root of your cygwin32 installation. You will
find a discussion of the startup files it uses there.
This file is most easily browsed with an info file viewer such as the
one built into emacs. It is, however, a mostly ASCII file, so any
reasonable editor or file viewer (even your web browser) will do.
