pwd(1)
NAME
pwd − working directory name
SYNOPSIS
pwd
AVAILABILITY
SUNWcsu
DESCRIPTION
pwd prints the path name of the working (current) directory.
ENVIRONMENT
If any of the LC_∗ variables ( LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, LC_TIME, LC_COLLATE, LC_NUMERIC, and LC_MONETARY ) (see environ(5)) are not set in the environment, the operational behavior of pwd for each corresponding locale category is determined by the value of the LANG environment variable. If LC_ALL is set, its contents are used to override both the LANG and the other LC_∗ variables. If none of the above variables is set in the environment, the "C" (U.S. style) locale determines how pwd behaves.
LC_CTYPE
Determines how pwd handles characters. When LC_CTYPE is set to a valid value, pwd can display and handle text and filenames containing valid characters for that locale. pwd can display and handle Extended Unix Code (EUC) characters where any individual character can be 1, 2, or 3 bytes wide. pwd can also handle EUC characters of 1, 2, or more column widths. In the "C" locale, only characters from ISO 8859-1 are valid.
LC_MESSAGES
Determines how diagnostic and informative messages are presented. This includes the language and style of the messages, and the correct form of affirmative and negative responses. In the "C" locale, the messages are presented in the default form found in the program itself (in most cases, U.S. English).
SEE ALSO
DIAGNOSTICS
“Cannot open ..” and “Read error in ..” indicate possible file system trouble and should be referred to a UNIX system administrator.
NOTES
If you move the current directory or one above it, pwd may not give the correct response. Use the cd(1) command with a full path name to correct this situation.
