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 shells, ksh(1) and ksh93(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

+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

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.
