One Linux command per day (3) [pwd command]

In Linux, use the PWD command to view the full path to the current working directory. Simply put, you will have a current working directory every time you operate in a terminal.

When unsure of the current location, PWD is used to determine the exact location of the current directory within the file system.

1. Command format:

PWD [Options]

2. Command function:

View the full path to the current working directory

3. Common parameters:

Normally without any parameters

If the directory is a link:

Format: Pwd-p shows the actual path, not the link path.

4. Common examples:

Example 1: Viewing the full path of the default working directory with the PWD command

Command:

Pwd

Output:

[Email protected] ~]# pwd

/root

[Email protected] ~]#

Example 2: Use the PWD command to view the specified folder

Command:

Pwd

Output:

[Email protected] ~]# cd/opt/soft/

[Email protected] soft]# pwd

/opt/soft

[Email protected] soft]#

Example 3: When a directory connection is linked, Pwd-p displays the actual path, not the connection path; PWD display is the connection path

Command:

Pwd-p

Output:

[Email protected] soft]# CD/ETC/INIT.D

[Email protected] init.d]# pwd

/etc/init.d

[Email protected] init.d]# pwd-p

/etc/rc.d/init.d
