DESCRIPTION

prints the path name of the working (current) directory.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
LC_MESSAGES
determines the language in which messages are displayed.
If
LC_MESSAGES
is not specified in the environment or is set to
the empty string, the value of
LANG
is used as a default for each
unspecified or empty variable.
If
LANG
is not specified or is set to the empty string, a
default of "C" (see
lang(5))
is used instead of
LANG.
If any internationalization variable contains an invalid
setting,
pwd
behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C".
See
environ(5).
International Code Set Support
Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.
