19.1 `pwd': Print working directory
===================================

`pwd' prints the fully resolved name of the current directory.  That
is, all components of the printed name will be actual directory
names--none will be symbolic links.

   Because most shells have a built-in command by the same name, using
the unadorned command name in a script or interactively may get you
different functionality than that described here.

   The only options are a lone `--help' or `--version'.  *Note Common
options::.

   An exit status of zero indicates success, and a nonzero value
indicates failure.
