pwd —
return working directory

SYNOPSIS
pwd |
DESCRIPTION
The pwd utility prints the absolute
pathname of the current working directory to the standard output. For an
explanation of the directory hierarchy, see
hier(7).
EXIT STATUS
The pwd utility exits 0 on success,
and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO
STANDARDS
The pwd utility is compliant with the
IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (“POSIX.1”)
specification.
pwd also exists as a built-in to
ksh(1), though with a different syntax.
BUGS
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).
