WSL 2 (announced May 2019 [5]), introduced a real Linux kernel – a managed virtual machine (via Hyper-V technology) that implements the full Linux kernel. As a result, WSL 2 is compatible with more Linux binaries as not all system calls were implemented in WSL 1. [6] Microsoft offers WSL for a variety of reasons.
Microsoft POSIX subsystem is one of four subsystems shipped with the first versions of Windows NT, the other three being the Win32 subsystem which provided the primary API for Windows NT, plus the OS/2 and security subsystems.
pkg-config is software development tool that queries information about libraries from a local, file-based database for the purpose of building a codebase that depends on them. . It allows for sharing a codebase in a cross-platform way by using host-specific library information that is stored outside of yet referenced by the codeba
The terminal emulator Mintty is the default command-line interface (CLI) provided to interact with the environment. [5] The Cygwin installation directory layout mimics the root file system of Unix-like systems, with directories such as /bin, /home, /etc, /usr, and /var.

Some versions of Unix and Linux contain Bash system startup scripts, generally under the /etc directory. Bash executes these files as part of its standard initialization, but other startup files can read them in a different order than the documented Bash startup sequence.
VTE is a library (libvte) implementing a terminal emulator widget for GTK, and a minimal sample application (vte) using that. VTE is mainly used in gnome-terminal, but can also be used to embed a console/terminal in games, editors, IDEs, etc. The VTE library provides a terminal emulator widget VteTerminal for applications using the GTK toolkit.
The pushd ('push directory') command saves the current working directory to the stack then changes the working directory to the new path input by the user. If pushd is not provided with a path argument , in Unix it instead swaps the top two directories on the stack, which can be used to toggle between two directories.
The program has the filename mstsc.exe and in Windows 2000 and prior, it was known as Microsoft Terminal Services Client (MSTSC or tsclient). [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It allows a user to remotely log into a networked computer running the Remote Desktop Services .
