In https://cygwin.com/preliminary-ntsec.html at the end of the "Brief
overview of Windows security" section, immediately before the heading
"Mapping Windows accounts to POSIX accounts", the link to
http://docs.sun.com/ redirects to
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/documentation/index.html
where you must drill down or search for "Solaris ACL API". The search
requires an Oracle login id to view the pages. It is not immediately
obvious where to find the "Online man pages for the Solaris ACL API".

The following searches appear to find relevant documents (although
slightly different lists):

https://search.oracle.com/search/search?q=Solaris+ACL+API

https://www.google.com/search?q=Solaris+ACL+API

I would guess that there was a specific version of the Solaris ACL API
man page used in designing the Cygwin implementation. Perhaps a link
to that or a very similar page on https://archive.org/web/ - the
Wayback Machine, would be of value.
