pwd — return working directory name

pwd

Pwd writes the absolute pathname of the current working directory to the standard output.

The pwd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

The pwd command is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (“POSIX.2”) compatible .

cd(1), csh(1), getcwd(3)

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).
