View windows environment variables in Cygwin

Is there a way to sync windows environment variables with Cygwin?

For example, in CMD echo %inetroot% gives the path to a project build. Is it possible to transfer this env variable to Cygwin such that echo $inetroot provides the same path?

Thanks!

If you are a beginner, do the following:

1)Create a dir . In this dir, create a file named qqq.cmd that contains :

set ZZZZZZ=123aBBC1111111111111
set zZZz=123aBBC

rem  cd = current dir
set pathz=%cd%

rem set pathz=%pathz%;i:\mingw\bin;F:\1MY\0CMD
rem set pathz=%pathz%;i:\1gtk+-2.10.1\examples\text

set path=%pathz%;%path%
I:\CYG\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -

exit
goto
goto
goto

2)In this dir, create another file named ss that contains :

#ss
#in notepad++  :  click Edit , choose EOL conversion , then choose unix  for this file  ss.  (no extension).

ln -s /cygdrive/c /c
ln -s /cygdrive/n /n
ln -s /cygdrive/e /e
ln -s /cygdrive/f /f
ln -s /cygdrive/i /i

echo $PATH
echo $path"assss----------"
echo $ZZZZZZ
echo $zZZz
echo $ZZZZ--=====++++++
echo $zZZz
echo $PATHZ  --------
echo $pathz --====


cd /c
echo --------Note current dir in ss. :
pwd

if false; then
    # ... Code I want to skip here ...  
  fdsgfsdsgfs
  dfsdgfdsgfds
fi


exit  
exit

3)Create shortcut for qqq.cmd and move the short cut to any where.
4)Then execute qqq.cmd by double clicking the shortcut and now you have Cygwin. Type ss and check the output and note the current dir now!!

Use the env program to so that ... or echo "$inetroot". I think the variable names are case-sensitive, though (in Bash and thus MinGW).

Those variables are all available in MinGW from Windows (user profile and global). Again, use env to list them or for example env|grep -i inetroot to find the properly capitalized version of the variable name.
