     GETWD(3)                                                 GETWD(3)

     NAME
          getwd, getcwd - get current directory

     SYNOPSIS
          char *getwd(buf)
          char *buf;

          char *getcwd(buf, size)
          char *buf;

     DESCRIPTION
          Both routines fill buf with a null-terminated string repre-
          senting the current directory and return buf. A null pointer
          is returned on an error and buf is filled with a diagnostic.

          Getwd is in the style of 4.2 BSD and getcwd in that of Sys-
          tem V.  If buf is null, this entry will call malloc(3) to
          allocate size bytes for the buffer.
