9.3.19 pwd command (outputs the path of the current directory)

Syntax

pwd  [-L|-P]

Description

This command outputs the path of the current directory to the standard output.

Arguments

Specifying no options is equivalent to specifying the -L option.

-L

This command outputs the path while a symbolic link is not resolved if the current directory path contains a symbolic link (a link using a file that contains the actual file path). If the -L and -P options are both specified, the option specified last takes effect.

-P

If the current directory is the path including a symbolic link, this command outputs the path with the symbolic link resolved. If the -L and -P options are both specified, the option specified last takes effect.

Return codes

Notes

• In Windows, when you execute the pwd command, the directory delimiter / is displayed as \.

• Even if the command syntax of this regular built-in command is invalid, it does not exit the shell that is executing the command.

Example

• Output the path of the current directory.
