💖 PWD(1) — like, the pwd page, bestie 💖

okay so. you're lost in the filesystem (mentally and also literally) and you just need to know where you even are?? that's this. it lives in your General Commands Manual, and it's called pwd 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

pwd — Display the full filename of the current working directory.

no cap. that's the whole job. it tells you where you're standing. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pwd [OPTION]...

yep that's it. pwd, and maybe some options if you're feeling spicy. 🌶️

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Display the full filename of the current working directory.

literally that. it hands you the full filename of the directory you're currently sitting in. like a little name tag for your location. so simple, so iconic. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -L, --logical — uses PWD from the environment, even if it contains symlinks. so it's like, "trust the vibe I was handed," symlinks and all. 🪞
  • -P, --physical — avoid all symlinks. no shortcuts, no illusions, just the raw actual path. it's giving no-makeup realness. 🌿
  • -h, --help — Print help. your girl's got your back when you forget stuff. 🙈
  • -V, --version — Print version. for when you gotta know exactly which era we're in. ⭐

👑 VERSION 👑

v(uutils coreutils) 0.12.0

that's the one, that's the version, periodt.

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Print the current directory:

pwd

Print the current directory, and resolve all symlinks (i.e. show the "physical" path):

pwd [-P|--physical]

Display help:

pwd --help

ngl that last bit matters — it's CC BY 4.0, courtesy of the tldr-pages project, and fr fr uutils is still a work in progress so some examples might just flop. not her fault, she's growing. 🧚

anyway bestie, that's the whole page. 💜 this was the General Commands Manual version, from the 2026-09-25 era, and it's the uutils coreutils 0.12.0 print, so you know exactly which girl you're talking to. go forth and know where you are, main character. 🍓🌸✨
