pwd

PWD(1)							    BSD General Commands Manual 						    PWD(1)

NAME

     pwd -- return working directory name

SYNOPSIS

     pwd [-LP]

DESCRIPTION

     pwd writes the absolute pathname of the current working directory to the standard output.

     The following options are available:

     -L      If the PWD environment variable is an absolute pathname that contains neither "/./" nor "/../" and references the current directory,
	     then PWD is assumed to be the name of the current directory.

     -P      Print the physical path to the current working directory, with symbolic links in the path resolved.

     The default for the pwd command is -P.

     pwd is usually provided as a shell builtin (which may have a different default).

EXIT STATUS

     The pwd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO

     cd(1), csh(1), ksh(1), sh(1), getcwd(3)

STANDARDS

     The pwd utility is expected to be conforming to IEEE Std 1003.1 (``POSIX.1''), except that the default is -P not -L.

BUGS

     In csh(1) the command dirs is always faster (although it can give a different answer in the rare case that the current directory or a con-
     taining directory was moved after the shell descended into it).

     pwd -L relies on the file system having unique inode numbers.  If this is not true (e.g., on FAT file systems) then pwd -L may fail to detect
     that PWD is incorrect.
