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.

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.

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.

42
04929354
MS
43=item cwd
44
45 my $cwd = cwd();
46
47The cwd() is the most natural form for the current architecture. For
48most systems it is identical to `pwd` (but without the trailing line
49terminator).
50
248785eb 51Taint-safe.
04929354
MS
52
53=item fastcwd
54
55 my $cwd = fastcwd();
56
57A more dangerous version of getcwd(), but potentially faster.
58
59It might conceivably chdir() you out of a directory that it can't
60chdir() you back into. If fastcwd encounters a problem it will return
61undef but will probably leave you in a different directory. For a
62measure of extra security, if everything appears to have worked, the
63fastcwd() function will check that it leaves you in the same directory
64that it started in. If it has changed it will C<die> with the message
65"Unstable directory path, current directory changed
66unexpectedly". That should never happen.
67
68=item fastgetcwd
69
70 my $cwd = fastgetcwd();
f06db76b 71
902bacac 72The fastgetcwd() function is provided as a synonym for cwd().

MS
77=head2 abs_path and friends
78
79These functions are exported only on request. They each take a single
80argument and return the absolute pathname for it.
81
82=over 4
83
84=item abs_path
85
86 my $abs_path = abs_path($file);
87
88Uses the same algorithm as getcwd(). Symbolic links and relative-path
89components ("." and "..") are resolved to return the canonical
90pathname, just like realpath(3).

108This function is B<Not> taint-safe : you can't use it in programs
109that work under taint mode.

115If you ask to override your chdir() built-in function,
116
117 use Cwd qw(chdir);
118
119then your PWD environment variable will be kept up to date. Note that
120it will only be kept up to date if all packages which use chdir import
121it from Cwd.

130Since the path seperators are different on some operating systems ('/'
131on Unix, ':' on MacPerl, etc...) we recommend you use the File::Spec
132modules wherever portability is a concern.

136Actually, on Mac OS, the C<getcwd()>, C<fastgetcwd()> and C<fastcwd()>
137functions are all aliases for the C<cwd()> function, which, on Mac OS,
138calls `pwd`. Likewise, the C<abs_path()> function is an alias for
139C<fast_abs_path()>.
