SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/pwd

AVAILABILITY
     SUNWcsu

DESCRIPTION
     pwd writes an absolute path  name  of  the  current  working
     directory to standard output.

     Both the Bourne shell, sh(1), and the  Korn  shell,  ksh(1),
     also have a built-in pwd command.

ENVIRONMENT
     See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment
     variables that affect the execution of pwd:  LC_MESSAGES and
     NLSPATH.

EXIT STATUS
     The following exit values are returned:
     0         Successful completion.
     >0        An error occurred.

     If an error is detected, output will not be written to stan-
     dard  output,  a diagnostic message will be written to stan-
     dard error, and the exit status will not be 0.

SEE ALSO
     cd(1), ksh(1), sh(1), shell_builtins(1), environ(5)

DIAGNOSTICS
     ``CCaannnnoott ooppeenn ....'' and ``RReeaadd eerrrroorr iinn ....'' indicate  possi-
     ble  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.
