NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     pwd - return working directory name

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     pwd

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The pwd utility prints the absolute pathname of the  current
working directory
  to  the  standard  output.   Both  the Bourne shell
(sh(1)) and Korn
     shell (ksh(1)) have their own built-in version of pwd.

     The pwd utility exits 0 on success or >0  if  an  error  occurred.

SEE ALSO    [Toc]    [Back]

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

STANDARDS    [Toc]    [Back]

     The   pwd   utility  is  expected  to  be  IEEE  Std  1003.2
(``POSIX.2'') compatible.

BUGS    [Toc]    [Back]

     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 containing
     directory was moved after the shell descended into it).
