Linux pwd(present working directory) prints name of current/working directory.
All we have to do is to run the ‘pwd’ command without any options, and we’ll get the full path of current working directory in output.
pwd -L: Prints the symbolic path.
pwd -P: Prints the actual path.
Examples:
Following command prints the name of current working directory.
postgres@mongodb1:~$ pwd /var/lib/postgresql
The default behavior of Built-in pwd is same as pwd -L and the default behavior of /bin/pwd is same as pwd -P.
