NAME
     pwd - return working directory name

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
     ksh(1), getcwd(3), hier(7)

STANDARDS
     The pwd utility is compliant with the IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX'')
     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).
