     PWD(1)                                                     PWD(1)

     NAME
          pwd, pbd - working directory

     SYNOPSIS
          pwd
          pbd

     DESCRIPTION
          Pwd prints the path name of the working (current) directory.
          Pwd is guaranteed to return the same path that was used to
          enter the directory.  If, however, the name space has
          changed, or directory names have been changed, this path
          name may no longer be valid.  (See fd2path(2) for a descrip-
          tion of pwd's mechanism.)

          Pbd prints the base name of the working (current) directory.
          It prints no final newline and is intended for applications
          such as constructing shell prompts.
