PWD(1) BSD General Commands Manual PWD(1)

NAME
     ppwwdd - return working directory name

SYNOPSIS
     ppwwdd [-LLPP]

DESCRIPTION
     ppwwdd writes the absolute pathname of the current working directory to the
     standard output.

     The ppwwdd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

     The following options are available:

     -LL      Print the logical path to the current working directory, as
             defined by the shell in the environment variable PWD.

     -PP      Print the physical path to the current working directory, with
             symbolic links in the path resolved. This is the default.

STANDARDS
     The ppwwdd utility is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compati-
     ble.

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

BUGS
     In csh(1) the command ddiirrss 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).
