29=head1 DESCRIPTION
30
31The getcwd() function re-implements the getcwd(3) (or getwd(3)) functions
4633a7c4 32in Perl.
f06db76b 33
20408e3c 34The abs_path() function takes a single argument and returns the
f610777f 35absolute pathname for that argument. It uses the same algorithm as
20408e3c
GS
36getcwd(). (actually getcwd() is abs_path("."))
37
cb1a09d0 38The fastcwd() function looks the same as getcwd(), but runs faster.
fb73857a 39It's also more dangerous because it might conceivably chdir() you out
40of a directory that it can't chdir() you back into. If fastcwd
41encounters a problem it will return undef but will probably leave you
42in a different directory. For a measure of extra security, if
43everything appears to have worked, the fastcwd() function will check
44that it leaves you in the same directory that it started in. If it has
45changed it will C<die> with the message "Unstable directory path,
46current directory changed unexpectedly". That should never happen.
f06db76b 47
20408e3c
GS
48The fast_abs_path() function looks the same as abs_path(), but runs faster.
49And like fastcwd() is more dangerous.
50
4633a7c4
LW
51The cwd() function looks the same as getcwd and fastgetcwd but is
52implemented using the most natural and safe form for the current
53architecture. For most systems it is identical to `pwd` (but without
fb73857a 54the trailing line terminator).
55
56It is recommended that cwd (or another *cwd() function) is used in
57I<all> code to ensure portability.
4633a7c4
LW
58
59If you ask to override your chdir() built-in function, then your PWD
60environment variable will be kept up to date. (See
55497cff 61L<perlsub/Overriding Builtin Functions>.) Note that it will only be
1fef88e7 62kept up to date if all packages which use chdir import it from Cwd.
