| SYNOPSIS |
#include <unistd.h> char *getwd(char *buffer);
| DESCRIPTION |
getwd determines and stores
the name of the working UNIX System Services directory. The buffer argument is an array where the path name is to be stored.
It should address an area of at least PATH_MAX+1
bytes.
Note: The PATH_MAX symbol is defined
in the header file. ![[cautionend]](../common/images/cautend.gif)
When you call getwd in an application
which was not compiled with the posix option, the returned directory name
will begin with an hfs: style prefix.
| RETURN VALUE |
If successful, getwd returns
a pointer to the buffer in which the directory
path name was stored. If it fails, it returns NULL.
| USAGE NOTES |
The getwd function can
only be used with MVS 5.2.2 or a later release.
Note: Use of the more
portable and standard getcwd function is recommended
in place of getwd.
