37.\" 38.Dd April 28, 1995 39.Dt PWD 1 40.Os BSD 4 41.Sh NAME 42.Nm pwd 43.Nd return working directory name 44.Sh SYNOPSIS 45.Nm pwd 46.Sh DESCRIPTION 47.Nm Pwd 48writes the absolute pathname of the current working directory to 49the standard output. |
50.Pp 51Some shells may provide a builtin 52.Nm 53command which is similar or identical to this utility. Consult 54the 55.Xr builtin 1 56manual page. |
57.Sh DIAGNOSTICS 58The 59.Nm 60utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. 61.Sh STANDARDS 62The 63.Nm 64utility is expected to be 65.St -p1003.2 66compatible. 67.Sh SEE ALSO |
68.Xr builtin 1 , |
69.Xr cd 1 , 70.Xr csh 1 , |
71.Xr getcwd 3 , 72.Xr sh 1 |
73.Sh BUGS 74In 75.Xr csh 1 76the command 77.Ic dirs |
78is always faster because it is built into that shell. However, 79it can give a different answer in the rare case |
80that the current directory or a containing directory was moved after |
81the shell descended into it. |
