          #include <u.h>

          char* getwd(char *buf, int size)

     DESCRIPTION

          more information.

     BUGS
          Although the name returned by getwd is guaranteed to be the
          path used to reach the directory, if the name space has
          changed underfoot, the name may be incorrect.
