.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl LP
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
writes the absolute pathname of the current working directory to
|
|
the standard output.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
Print the logical path to the current working directory, as defined
|
|
by the shell in the evironment variable PWD.
|
|
.It Fl P
|
|
Print the physical path to the current working directory, with symbolic
|
|
links in the path resolved. This is the default.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is expected to be
|
|
.St -p1003.2
|
|
compatible.
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
.Xr cd 1 ,
|
|
.Xr csh 1 ,
|
|
.Xr getcwd 3
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
In
|
|
.Xr csh 1
|
|
the command
|
|
.Ic 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).
