6Cwd - get pathname of current working directory
7
8=head1 SYNOPSIS

10 use Cwd;
11 my $dir = getcwd;
12
13 use Cwd 'abs_path';
14 my $abs_path = abs_path($file);
15
16=head1 DESCRIPTION
17
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.
21
22By default, it exports the functions cwd(), getcwd(), fastcwd(), and
23fastgetcwd() into the caller's namespace.
24
25
26=head2 getcwd and friends
27
28Each of these functions are called without arguments and return the
29absolute path of the current working directory.
30
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
49Unfortunately, cwd() tends to break if called under taint mode.
50
51=item fastcwd
52
53 my $cwd = fastcwd();
54
55A more dangerous version of getcwd(), but potentially faster.
56
57It might conceivably chdir() you out of a directory that it can't
58chdir() you back into. If fastcwd encounters a problem it will return
59undef but will probably leave you in a different directory. For a
60measure of extra security, if everything appears to have worked, the
61fastcwd() function will check that it leaves you in the same directory
62that it started in. If it has changed it will C<die> with the message
63"Unstable directory path, current directory changed
64unexpectedly". That should never happen.
65
66=item fastgetcwd
67
68 my $cwd = fastgetcwd();
69
70The fastgetcwd() function is provided as a synonym for cwd().
71
72=back
73
74
75=head2 abs_path and friends
76
77These functions are exported only on request. They each take a single
78argument and return the absolute pathname for it.
79
80=over 4
81
82=item abs_path
83
84 my $abs_path = abs_path($file);
85
86Uses the same algorithm as getcwd(). Symbolic links and relative-path
87components ("." and "..") are resolved to return the canonical
88pathname, just like realpath(3).
89
90=item realpath
91
92 my $abs_path = realpath($file);
93
94A synonym for abs_path().
95
96=item fast_abs_path
97
98 my $abs_path = abs_path($file);
99
100A more dangerous, but potentially faster version of abs_path.
101
102=back
103
104=head2 $ENV{PWD}
105
106If you ask to override your chdir() built-in function,
107
108 use Cwd qw(chdir);
109
110then your PWD environment variable will be kept up to date. Note that
111it will only be kept up to date if all packages which use chdir import
112it from Cwd.
113
114
115=head1 NOTES
116
117=over 4
118
119=item *
120
121Since the path seperators are different on some operating systems ('/'
122on Unix, ':' on MacPerl, etc...) we recommend you use the File::Spec
123modules wherever portability is a concern.
124
125=item *
126
127Actually, on Mac OS, the C<getcwd()>, C<fastgetcwd()> and C<fastcwd()>
128functions are all aliases for the C<cwd()> function, which, on Mac OS,
129calls `pwd`. Likewise, the C<abs_path()> function is an alias for
130C<fast_abs_path()>.
