.SH NAME

pwd \- Return the absolute path of the current working directory

.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
\fBpwd\fR
|
||
|
|
.BE
|

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
Returns the absolute path name of the current working directory.
|

|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Sometimes it is useful to change to a known directory when running
|
||
|
|
some external command using \fBexec\fR, but it is important to keep
|
||
|
|
the application usually running in the directory that it was started
|
||
|
|
in (unless the user specifies otherwise) since that minimizes user
|
||
|
|
confusion. The way to do this is to save the current directory while
|
||
|
|
the external command is being run:
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.CS
|
||
|
|
set tarFile [file normalize somefile.tar]
|
||
|
|
set savedDir [\fBpwd\fR]
|
||
|
|
cd /tmp
|
||
|
|
exec tar -xf $tarFile
|
||
|
|
cd $savedDir
