[net.unix] Doing "pwd" within a program

gnu%berkeley@sun.UUCP (10/18/83)

From:  John Gilmore <sun!gnu@berkeley>

In 4.2BSD, the library routine "getwd" does this, without any hokum
with pipes.  It's probably portable to older systems if you have the
directory compatability package (readdir, opendir, etc) which has been
posted to net.sources several times.

You don't need to port the "getwd" routine from 4.2bsd to 4.1 - it was there
before 4.2 existed.  The routine takes a (char *) address of a buffer to put
the result in.  Just link your program with the "-ljobs" flag to ld.
