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
e4c51978
GS
35absolute pathname for that argument. It uses the same algorithm
36as getcwd(). (Actually, getcwd() is abs_path(".")) Symbolic links
37and relative-path components ("." and "..") are resolved to return
38the canonical pathname, just like realpath(3). Also callable as
39realpath().
20408e3c 40
cb1a09d0 41The fastcwd() function looks the same as getcwd(), but runs faster.
fb73857a 42It's also more dangerous because it might conceivably chdir() you out
43of a directory that it can't chdir() you back into. If fastcwd
44encounters a problem it will return undef but will probably leave you
45in a different directory. For a measure of extra security, if
46everything appears to have worked, the fastcwd() function will check
47that it leaves you in the same directory that it started in. If it has
48changed it will C<die> with the message "Unstable directory path,
49current directory changed unexpectedly". That should never happen.
f06db76b 50
20408e3c
GS
51The fast_abs_path() function looks the same as abs_path(), but runs faster.
52And like fastcwd() is more dangerous.
53
4633a7c4
LW
54The cwd() function looks the same as getcwd and fastgetcwd but is
55implemented using the most natural and safe form for the current
56architecture. For most systems it is identical to `pwd` (but without
fb73857a 57the trailing line terminator).
58
59It is recommended that cwd (or another *cwd() function) is used in
60I<all> code to ensure portability.
4633a7c4
LW
61
62If you ask to override your chdir() built-in function, then your PWD
63environment variable will be kept up to date. (See
55497cff 64L<perlsub/Overriding Builtin Functions>.) Note that it will only be
1fef88e7 65kept up to date if all packages which use chdir import it from Cwd.
