PWD(1)                     OpenBSD Reference Manual                     PWD(1)

NAME
     pwd - return working directory name

SYNOPSIS
     pwd

DESCRIPTION
     The pwd utility prints the absolute pathname of the current working di-
     rectory to the standard output.  Both the Bourne shell (sh(1)) and Korn
     shell (ksh(1)) have their own built-in version of pwd.

     The pwd utility exits 0 on success or >0 if an error occurred.

STANDARDS
     The pwd utility is expected to be IEEE Std1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compati-
     ble.

SEE ALSO
     cd(1), csh(1), ksh(1), sh(1), getcwd(3)

BUGS
     In csh(1), the command dirs is always faster (although it can give a dif-
     ferent answer in the rare case that the current directory or a containing
     directory was moved after the shell descended into it).
