DESCRIPTION
pwd
writes an absolute path name of the current working directory to standard
output.
Both the Bourne shell,
sh.1
and the Korn shell,
ksh.1
also have a built-in
pwd
command.
ENVIRONMENT
See
environ.5
for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the
execution of
pwd:
LC_MESSAGES
and
NLSPATH.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
- 0
-
Successful completion.
- >0
-
An error occurred.
If an error is detected, output will not be written to standard
output, a diagnostic message will be written to standard error,
and the exit status will not be
0.
SEE ALSO
cd.1
ksh.1
sh.1
shell_builtins.1
environ.5
DIAGNOSTICS
``Cannot open ..'' and ``Read error in ..'' indicate
possible file system trouble and should be
referred to a UNIX system administrator.
NOTES
If you move the current directory or one above it,
pwd
may not give the correct response.
Use the
cd.1
command with a full path name
to correct this situation.
