 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      pwd - working directory name

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      pwd

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      pwd prints the path name of the working (current) directory.

 EXTERNAL INFLUENCES    [Toc]    [Back]
    Environment Variables
      LC_MESSAGES determines the language in which messages are displayed.

      If LC_MESSAGES is not specified in the environment or is set to the
      empty string, the value of LANG is used as a default for each
      unspecified or empty variable.  If LANG is not specified or is set to
      the empty string, a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of
      LANG.

      If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, pwd
      behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C".  See
      environ(5).

    International Code Set Support    [Toc]    [Back]
      Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.

 DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]
      Cannot open ..
      Read error in ..
              Possible file system trouble; contact system administrator.

      pwd: cannot access parent directories
              Current directory has been removed (usually by a different
              process).  Use cd command to move to a valid directory (see
              cd(1)).

 EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]
      This command lists the path of the current working directory.  If your
      home directory were /mnt/staff and the command cd camp/nevada were
      executed from the home directory, typing pwd would produce the
      following:

           /mnt/staff/camp/nevada
