PWR(1)                  COMMAND REFERENCE                  PWR(1)



NAME
     pwr - print current working root directory

SYNOPSIS
     pwr [ -h ] [ -l ]

DESCRIPTION
     Pwr prints the name of the current working root directory.
     When working on another machine via the distributed file
     system, the root directory of the current directory is not
     `/'.  Instead, it is `//machine/', where `machine' is the
     name of the machine that the current directory resides on.

     Because of the way the distributed file system works, full
     pathnames which do not begin with a machine name are taken
     from the local (or originating) host.  This command makes it
     easy to determine the full pathname of a file on the remote
     machine.

     By default, if the current directory resides on the local
     machine, pwr will print `/'.

OPTIONS
     -h  Print only the name of the current machine.  This option
         implies the -l option.

     -l  Print the full name of the root directory
         (`//machine/'), even if it is on the local machine.

EXAMPLES
     To list the contents of the directory `/bin' on the current
     machine, the following command may be used.



          ls `pwr`bin


RETURN VALUE
     [NO_ERRS]      Command completed without error.

     [USAGE]        Incorrect command line syntax. Execution
                    terminated.

     [P_ERR]        A system error occurred. Execution
                    terminated.  See intro(2) for more
                    information on system errors.
