902bacac 17
04929354
MS
18This module provides functions for determining the pathname of the
19current working directory. It is recommended that getcwd (or another
20*cwd() function) be used in I<all> code to ensure portability.
f06db76b 21
04929354
MS
22By default, it exports the functions cwd(), getcwd(), fastcwd(), and
23fastgetcwd() into the caller's namespace.
f06db76b 24
20408e3c 25
04929354 26=head2 getcwd and friends
20408e3c 27
04929354
MS
28Each of these functions are called without arguments and return the
29absolute path of the current working directory.

04929354
MS
31=over 4
32
33=item getcwd
34
35 my $cwd = getcwd();
36
37Returns the current working directory.
38
39Re-implements the getcwd(3) (or getwd(3)) functions in Perl.
40
41=item cwd
42
43 my $cwd = cwd();
44
45The cwd() is the most natural form for the current architecture. For
46most systems it is identical to `pwd` (but without the trailing line
47terminator).
48
04929354
MS
49=item fastcwd
50
51 my $cwd = fastcwd();
52
53A more dangerous version of getcwd(), but potentially faster.
54
55It might conceivably chdir() you out of a directory that it can't
56chdir() you back into. If fastcwd encounters a problem it will return
57undef but will probably leave you in a different directory. For a
58measure of extra security, if everything appears to have worked, the
59fastcwd() function will check that it leaves you in the same directory
60that it started in. If it has changed it will C<die> with the message
61"Unstable directory path, current directory changed
62unexpectedly". That should never happen.
63
64=item fastgetcwd
65
66 my $cwd = fastgetcwd();
f06db76b 67
902bacac 68The fastgetcwd() function is provided as a synonym for cwd().

902bacac 72
04929354
MS
73=head2 abs_path and friends
74
75These functions are exported only on request. They each take a single
3ee63918
MS
76argument and return the absolute pathname for it. If no argument is
77given they'll use the current working directory.
04929354
MS
78
79=over 4
80
81=item abs_path
82
83 my $abs_path = abs_path($file);
84
85Uses the same algorithm as getcwd(). Symbolic links and relative-path
86components ("." and "..") are resolved to return the canonical
87pathname, just like realpath(3).
88
89=item realpath
90
91 my $abs_path = realpath($file);
92
93A synonym for abs_path().
94
95=item fast_abs_path
96
510179aa 97 my $abs_path = fast_abs_path($file);
04929354
MS
98
99A more dangerous, but potentially faster version of abs_path.

104
105If you ask to override your chdir() built-in function,
106
107 use Cwd qw(chdir);
108
109then your PWD environment variable will be kept up to date. Note that
110it will only be kept up to date if all packages which use chdir import
111it from Cwd.

119
04929354
MS
120Since the path seperators are different on some operating systems ('/'
121on Unix, ':' on MacPerl, etc...) we recommend you use the File::Spec
122modules wherever portability is a concern.

125
126Actually, on Mac OS, the C<getcwd()>, C<fastgetcwd()> and C<fastcwd()>
127functions are all aliases for the C<cwd()> function, which, on Mac OS,
128calls `pwd`. Likewise, the C<abs_path()> function is an alias for
129C<fast_abs_path()>.
