Cygwin is a Unix-like environment for Microsoft Windows, historically developed and maintained by Red Hat and the wider Cygwin community. Its packages can include documentation in the GNU Info format.
The .info-1 file extension identifies the first numbered segment of a split Info manual. It normally belongs with a file using the same base name and the .info extension, along with any additional numbered segments. The Info reader uses these files together to display the complete manual.
This is a Cygwin documentation data file rather than a general-purpose document format.
Open the associated .info file with the Info reader supplied with Cygwin. The reader can follow the numbered segments, including the .info-1 file, as part of the manual.
It is not normally useful to open the numbered segment by itself. On Microsoft Windows, install or use Cygwin and start the Info reader from a Cygwin terminal.
The .info-1 format is not normally converted on its own. It is one part of an Info manual, so conversion should operate on the complete manual rather than on this segment alone.
For output in formats such as HTML or PDF, use the original Texinfo source and the appropriate Texinfo documentation tools when available. Otherwise, the Info reader can be used to view the documentation without conversion.
