Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

.Sh SYNOPSIS

|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl L | P
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility writes the absolute pathname of the current working directory to
|
|
the standard output.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Some shells may provide a builtin
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command which is similar or identical to this utility.
|
|
Consult the
|
|
.Xr builtin 1
|
|
manual page.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
Display the logical current working directory.
|
|
.It Fl P
|
|
Display the physical current working directory (all symbolic links resolved).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no options are specified, the
|
|
.Fl P
|
|
option is assumed.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
Environment variables used by
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Ev PWD"
|
|
.It Ev PWD
|
|
Logical current working directory.
|
|

.Xr getcwd 3
|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility conforms to
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2001 .
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command appeared in
|
|
.At v5 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
In
|
|
.Xr csh 1
|
|
the command
|
|
.Ic dirs
|
|
is always faster because it is built into that shell.
|
|
However, it can give a different answer in the rare case
|
|
that the current directory or a containing directory was moved after
|
|
the shell descended into it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl L
|
|
option does not work unless the
|
|
.Ev PWD
|
|
environment variable is exported by the shell.
