Getcwd
Hi,

I constantly get this error as a script is run:

getcwd failed (Unix's errno 13; Permission denied)

Can anyone point at the location of this function by default in AIX?

Thanks!

It's a shell builtin and a library call, not a shell command.

If getcwd is failing, that may mean the user cannot access their current directory for some reason. Perhaps they had permissions to cd to it, but not to read it?
