    P\bPw\bwd\bd 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.

S\bST\bTA\bAN\bND\bDA\bAR\bRD\bDS\bS
    The p\bpw\bwd\bd command is expected to be IEEE Std1003.2 (``POSIX'') compatible .

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

B\bBU\bUG\bGS\bS
    In csh(1) the command d\bdi\bir\brs\bs 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).
