pwd [options]

pwd prints the absolute path of the current working directory. It is one of the most basic shell commands, used to confirm your location in the filesystem when navigating between directories.
The -P flag resolves symbolic links to display the physical path, while -L (the default in most shells) preserves symbolic link components in the path. Both a shell built-in version and a standalone binary from GNU coreutils exist; the built-in is used by default in interactive shells.

-L

Logical path (follow symlinks).

Physical path (resolve symlinks).

Shell built-in and external command. Behavior may differ.

pwd is a classic Unix command for directory display.
