PWD(1)                  System General Commands Manual                  PWD(1)

NAME
     pwd - return working directory name

SYNOPSIS
     pwd

DESCRIPTION
     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.  For an explana-
     tion of the directory hierarchy, see hier(7).

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

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

STANDARDS
     The pwd conforms to IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') and SUS.

BUGS
     In csh(1), the command dirs is always faster (although it can give a dif-
     ferent answer in the rare case that the current directory or a containing
     directory was moved after the shell descended into it).
