PWD(1) BSD General Commands Manual PWD(1) NAME pwd -- return working directory name SYNOPSIS pwd DESCRIPTION Pwd writes the absolute pathname of the current working directory to the standard output. Some shells may provide a builtin pwd command which is similar or identi- cal to this utility. Consult the builtin(1) manual page. DIAGNOSTICS The pwd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. STANDARDS The pwd utility is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 ("POSIX.2") compatible. The -L flag is not supported. SEE ALSO builtin(1), cd(1), csh(1), sh(1), getcwd(3) BUGS In csh(1) the command dirs is always faster because it is built into that shell. However, it can give a different answer in the rare case that the current directory or a containing directory was moved after the shell de- scended into it. BSD April 28, 1995 BSD
