PWD(1) PWD(1)
NAME
pwd - print working directory
SYNOPSIS
pwd
DESCRIPTION
Pwd prints the path name of the working (current) directory.
It does not guarantee to return the same path that was used
to enter the directory. The returned path may be another
route through the name space to the same working directory.
This behaviour arises when a combination of mounts or binds
produces a graph in the file name space.

SEE ALSO
cd(1), bind(1), workdir(2)
BUGS
The result can be wrong, particularly when the current
directory is on a remote machine or in a device hierarchy.
