pwd is acronymic for print working directory

When this command is called without any parameters, it will print out the current working directory according to the shell. It may be called with -P to dereference any symbolic links in the path.

[light@splat ~/www/paint_fx]$ pwd
/home/light/www/paint_fx
[light@splat ~/www/paint_fx]$ pwd -P
/usr/home/light/www/paint_fx
