SYNOPSIS
pwd
[
DESCRIPTION
pwd displays the absolute path name of the current working directory to standard output.
Options
-d drive-
displays the current the current working directory on the specified drive. Only the first letter of drive is looked at and is interpreted as being a drive letter.
- Note:
-
drive may also be specified in NuTCRACKER Platform format (for example, /c=/). In such a case, the path is fist translated to the standard format before the first letter is taken and interpreted as the drive letter.
-L -
includes symbolic links, if appropriate, in the path name displayed.
For the standalone external version of pwd, this is the default behavior and the
-L option is not required. However, because the default behavior of the built-in version can change from using logical links to using physical link (and back) by using set±o physical or set±P , the-L is required if you want to ensure that symbolic links are included in the displayed path name. -P -
forces the physical directory structure to be followed. No symbolic links are included in the path name displayed. This same behavior can be obtained by using
-P or-o physical with set.
