<STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG>&lt;unistd.h&gt;</STRONG>
<STRONG>char</STRONG> <STRONG>*getcwd(char</STRONG> <STRONG>*</STRONG><EM>pathname</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <STRONG>size_t</STRONG> <EM>len</EM><STRONG>)</STRONG>
</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
<STRONG>Getcwd</STRONG> copies the absolute pathname of the current working directory to
<EM>pathname</EM> and returns a pointer to the result. <EM>Pathname</EM> is a character
array of length <EM>len</EM>.
</PRE>
<H2>DIAGNOSTICS</H2><PRE>
<STRONG>Getcwd</STRONG> returns a null pointer and sets <STRONG>errno</STRONG> if an error occurs. The
error will reflect the system call errors that may occur if the path to
the current directory is searched upwards to the root directory. The
error <STRONG>ERANGE</STRONG> is returned if the result does not fit within <EM>len</EM> bytes.
