DESCRIPTION
  The pwd command writes to standard output the full pathname of your current
  working directory.  All directories are separated by a / (slash).  The
  first / represents the root directory and the last directory named is your
  current working directory.

EXIT STATUS
  The following exit values are returned:

  0   Successful completion.

  >0  An error occurred.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
  The following environment variables affect the execution of pwd:

  LANG
      Provides a default value for the internationalization variables that
      are unset or null. If LANG is unset or null, the corresponding value
      from the default locale is used.	If any of the internationalization
      variables contain an invalid setting, the utility behaves as if none of
      the variables had been defined.

  LC_ALL
      If set to a non-empty string value, overrides the values of all the
      other internationalization variables.

  LC_MESSAGES
      Determines the locale for the format and contents of diagnostic
      messages written to standard error.

  NLSPATH
      Determines the location of message catalogues for the processing of
      LC_MESSAGES.
