From Chapter 3 I see:

--------------------------------------
The CYGWIN environment variable

The CYGWIN environment variable is used to configure many global settings for
the Cygwin runtime system. It contains the options listed
below, separated by blank characters. Many options can be turned off by
prefixing with no .

      (no)binmode - if set, non-disk (e.g. pipe and COM ports) file opens
default to binary mode (no CR/LF/Ctrl-Z translations) instead of
      text mode. Defaults to set (binary mode). This option must be set before
starting a Cygwin shell to have an effect on redirection.

---------------------------------------

Notice that it states *non-disk*.

Cheers,
