NAME

       pwd - Return the absolute path of the current working directory

SYNOPSIS

       pwd
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       Returns the absolute path name of the current working directory.

EXAMPLE

       Sometimes it is useful to change to a known directory when running some external command using exec, but it is important to keep the appli-
       cation usually running in the directory that it was started in (unless the user specifies otherwise) since that minimises  user	confusion.
       The way to do this is to save the current directory while the external command is being run:
	      set tarFile [file normalize somefile.tar]
	      set savedDir [pwd]
	      cd /tmp
	      exec tar -xf $tarFile
	      cd $savedDir

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 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.

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.
