pwd

pwd(1)								   User Commands							    pwd(1)

NAME

       pwd - return working directory name

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/pwd

DESCRIPTION

       The pwd utility writes an absolute path name of the current working directory to standard output.

       Both the Bourne shell, sh(1), and the Korn shell, ksh(1), also have a built-in pwd command.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       See  environ(5)	for  descriptions  of the following environment variables that affect the execution of pwd: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES, and
       NLSPATH.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful completion.

       >0	An error occurred.

       If an error is detected, output will not be written to standard output, a diagnostic message will be written to	standard  error,  and  the
       exit status will not be	0.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWcsu			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |CSI			     |enabled			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Interface Stability	     |Standard			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       cd(1), ksh(1), sh(1), shell_builtins(1), attributes(5), environ(5), standards(5)

DIAGNOSTICS

       ``Cannot open ..'' and ``Read error in ..'' indicate possible file system trouble and should be referred to a UNIX system administrator.

NOTES

       If  you move the current directory or one above it,  pwd may not give the correct response. Use the  cd(1) command with a full path name to
       correct this situation.
