$ cygcheck /usr/bin/bash.exe
C:/Cygwin/bin/bash.exe
C:/Cygwin/bin\cygwin1.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
C:/Cygwin/bin\cygintl-3.dll
C:/Cygwin/bin\cygiconv-2.dll
C:/Cygwin/bin\cygreadline6.dll
C:/Cygwin/bin\cygncurses-8.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\USER32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\GDI32.dll
