- NAME

- pwd
- - print name of current/working directory
- SYNOPSIS
-
- pwd
- {-help,-version}
- DESCRIPTION
-
This documentation is no longer being maintained and may be inaccurate
or incomplete. The Texinfo documentation is now the authoritative
source.
This manual page documents the GNU version of pwd. pwd prints the
fully resolved name of the current directory. That is, all components
of the printed name will be actual directory names - none will be
symbolic links.
Note that most Unix shells provide a built-in pwd command with similar
functionality so the unadorned, interactive pwd command will usually
execute the built-in version and not this one.
- OPTIONS
-
- -help
- Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.
- -version
- Print version information on standard output then exit
successfully.
- EXAMPLES
-
$ pwd
/home/root
$
