What command would you use to find out more information about the pwd command? What is the function of the pwd command?

Solution:

The pwd command reports the full path to the current directory.

The current directory is the directory in which a user is currently operating while using a command line interface. A command line interface is an all-text display mode and it is provided via a console & terminal window.

The full path, also called an absolute path, to a directory or file is the complete hierarchy of directories from the root directory to and including that directory or file. The root directory, which is designated by a forward slash is the base directory on the filesystem.

pwd is one of the most basic commands in Linux and other Unix-like operating systems, along with ls, which is used to list the contents of the current directory, and cd, which is used to change the current directory.

The function of the pwd command is print name of the current workingdirectory.
