32=head1 DESCRIPTION
33
902bacac
BS
34This module provides functions for determining the pathname of the
35current working directory. By default, it exports the functions
36cwd(), getcwd(), fastcwd(), and fastgetcwd() into the caller's
37namespace. Each of these functions are called without arguments and
38return the absolute path of the current working directory. It is
39recommended that cwd (or another *cwd() function) be used in I<all>
40code to ensure portability.
41
42The cwd() is the most natural and safe form for the current
43architecture. For most systems it is identical to `pwd` (but without
44the trailing line terminator).
45
f06db76b 46The getcwd() function re-implements the getcwd(3) (or getwd(3)) functions
4633a7c4 47in Perl.
f06db76b 48
cb1a09d0 49The fastcwd() function looks the same as getcwd(), but runs faster.
fb73857a 50It's also more dangerous because it might conceivably chdir() you out
51of a directory that it can't chdir() you back into. If fastcwd
52encounters a problem it will return undef but will probably leave you
53in a different directory. For a measure of extra security, if
54everything appears to have worked, the fastcwd() function will check
55that it leaves you in the same directory that it started in. If it has
56changed it will C<die> with the message "Unstable directory path,
57current directory changed unexpectedly". That should never happen.
f06db76b 58
902bacac 59The fastgetcwd() function is provided as a synonym for cwd().
fb73857a 60
902bacac
BS
61The abs_path() function takes a single argument and returns the
62absolute pathname for that argument. It uses the same algorithm as
63getcwd(). (Actually, getcwd() is abs_path(".")) Symbolic links and
64relative-path components ("." and "..") are resolved to return the
65canonical pathname, just like realpath(3). This function is also
66callable as realpath().
67
68The fast_abs_path() function looks the same as abs_path() but runs
69faster and, like fastcwd(), is more dangerous.

71If you ask to override your chdir() built-in function, then your PWD
72environment variable will be kept up to date. (See
55497cff 73L<perlsub/Overriding Builtin Functions>.) Note that it will only be
1fef88e7 74kept up to date if all packages which use chdir import it from Cwd.
