.Sh SYNOPSIS

|
.Nm

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility writes the absolute pathname of the current working directory to
|
|
the standard output.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Some shells may provide a builtin
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command which is similar or identical to this utility.
|
|
Consult the
|
|
.Xr builtin 1
|
|
manual page.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
Display the logical current working directory.
|
|
.It Fl P
|
|
Display the physical current working directory (all symbolic links resolved).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no options are specified, the
|
|
.Fl P
|
|
option is assumed.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
Environment variables used by
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Ev PWD"
|
|
.It Ev PWD
|
|
Logical current working directory.

|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility conforms to
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2001 .
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command appeared in
|
|
.At v5 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
In
|
|
.Xr csh 1
|
|
the command
|
|
.Ic dirs
|
|
is always faster because it is built into that shell.
|
|
However, 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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl L
|
|
option does not work unless the
|
|
.Ev PWD
|
|
environment variable is exported by the shell.
