# The `pwd` command
|
|
|
|
The `pwd` stands for Print Working Directory. It prints the path of the current working directory, starting from the root.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```
|
|
pwd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The output would be your current directory:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/home/your_user/some_directory
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Syntax:
|
|
```
|
|
pwd [OPTION]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Tip:
|
|
You can also check this by printing out the `$PWD` variable:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo $PWD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The output would be the same as of the `pwd` command.
|
|
|
|
### Options:

|**Short Flag** |**Long Flag** |**Description** |
|
|
|:---|:---|:---|
|
|
| `-L` | `--logical` | If the environment variable $PWD contains an absolute name of the current directory with no "." or ".." components, then output those contents, even if they contain symbolic links. Otherwise, fall back to default (-P) behavior. |
|
|
| `-P`| `--physical` | Print a fully resolved name for the current directory, where all components of the name are actual directory names, and not symbolic links. |
|
|
| ` ` | `--help`| Display a help message, and exit. |
|
|
| ` ` | `--version`| Display version information, and exit. |
|
|
|
|
By default, `pwd' behaves as if `-L' were specified.
