pwd(1)
NAME
pwd − working directory name
SYNOPSIS
pwd [-H]
DESCRIPTION
pwd prints the path name of the working (current) directory. The -H option causes pwd to reveal hidden directories (context-dependent files) in the path name and append a plus sign (+) to them. See cdf(4).
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
LANG determines the language in which messages are displayed.
If LANG is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of LANG.
If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, pwd behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C". See environ(5).
International Code Set Support
Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.
DIAGNOSTICS
Cannot open ..
Read error in ..
Possible file system trouble; contact system administrator.
pwd: cannot access parent directories
Current directory has been removed (usually by a different process). Use cd command to move to a valid directory (see cd(1)).
EXAMPLES
This command lists the path of the current working directory. If your home directory were /mnt/staff and the command cd camp/nevada were executed from the home directory, typing pwd would produce the following:
/mnt/staff/camp/nevada
