SYNOPSIS
pwd [options]
DESCRIPTION
pwd prints the absolute path of the current working directory. It is one of the most basic shell commands, used to confirm your location in the filesystem when navigating between directories.The -P flag resolves symbolic links to display the physical path, while -L (the default in most shells) preserves symbolic link components in the path. Both a shell built-in version and a standalone binary from GNU coreutils exist; the built-in is used by default in interactive shells.
