### NAME

pwd — 現在の動作ディレクトリーの絶対経路を返す Return the absolute path of the current working directory

### 構文 SYNOPSIS

pwd

### 説明 DESCRIPTION

現在の動作ディレクトリーの絶対経路の名前を返す｡ Returns the absolute path name of the current working directory.

### 用例 EXAMPLE

何がしかの外部命令を exec を使って実行させる時に､判っているディレクトリーに変更することは､時には､便利であるが､(使用者が別のものを指定しない限り)応用譜を､最初のディレクトリー内で実行するように保つことは､使用者の混乱を最小化するので､重要である｡それを達成する為に､これは外部命令が実行されている間､現在のディレクトリーを保存する: Sometimes it is useful to change to a known directory when running some external command using exec, but it is important to keep the application usually running in the directory that it was started in (unless the user specifies otherwise) since that minimizes user confusion. The way to do this is to save the current directory while the external command is being run:

    set tarFile [file normalize somefile.tar]
    set savedDir [pwd]
    cd /tmp
    exec tar -xf $tarFile
    cd $savedDir
