+# pwd
+
+Standalone Linux-native port of FreeBSD `pwd(1)` for Project Tick BSD/Linux Distribution.
+
+## Build
+
+```sh
+gmake -f GNUmakefile
+gmake -f GNUmakefile CC=musl-gcc
+```
+
+## Test
+
+```sh
+gmake -f GNUmakefile test
+gmake -f GNUmakefile test CC=musl-gcc
+```
+
+## Port Strategy
+
+`pwd` has no BSD-specific kernel calls; it is purely POSIX.  The only
+platform-specific concern was the static `MAXPATHLEN` buffer used by
+`getcwd_physical()`.
+
+| BSD mechanism | Linux replacement |
+|---|---|
+| `<sys/param.h>` / `MAXPATHLEN` | Removed; `getcwd(NULL, 0)` allocates dynamically |
+| Static `char pwd[MAXPATHLEN]` buffer | `char *` returned by `getcwd(3)`, heap-allocated |
+
+### API Mapping
+
+| BSD call / constant | Linux / POSIX equivalent | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `MAXPATHLEN` from `<sys/param.h>` | `getcwd(NULL, 0)` | POSIX.1-2008 §2.2.3; both glibc and musl support passing `NULL,0` |
+| `getcwd(buf, sizeof(buf))` | `getcwd(NULL, 0)` | Dynamically allocates; caller must `free()` |
+| `getenv("PWD")` + `stat(2)` | unchanged | Fully POSIX; no BSD dependency |
+
+### Logical (-L) path validation
+
+The logical path from `$PWD` is accepted only when all of the following hold:
+
+1. `$PWD` is set and starts with `/`.
+2. No path component is `.` or `..` (POSIX 4.13 requirement).
+3. `stat("$PWD")` and `stat(".")` agree on device and inode numbers.
+
+If any check fails, `pwd -L` silently falls back to the physical path
+(same behaviour as the original FreeBSD implementation and as required
+by POSIX).
+
+## Supported Semantics
+
+- `-L` — logical working directory (default); falls back to physical on
+  `$PWD` validation failure.
+- `-P` — physical working directory (all symlinks resolved via `getcwd(3)`).
+- Last flag wins when both `-L` and `-P` are given.
+- Trailing newline always written.
+- `fflush(stdout)` failure detected and reported as a non-zero exit.
+- Dynamic buffer: no static `PATH_MAX` limit; works with paths longer than
+  4096 bytes (filesystem-permitting).
+
+## Unsupported / Linux Differences
+
+No BSD semantics from `pwd.1` are missing.  All options (`-L`, `-P`) behave
+identically to the FreeBSD binary.
+
+One minor difference: the FreeBSD implementation uses a fixed 4096-byte
+(`MAXPATHLEN`) stack buffer for `-P`.  This port uses `getcwd(NULL, 0)` which
+dynamically allocates the exact required size, so it handles paths longer than
+`PATH_MAX` on kernels and filesystems that support them.
+
+The `$PWD` environment variable must be exported by the shell for `-L` to work
+(same as on FreeBSD).

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pwd
+.Nd return working directory name
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl L | P
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility writes the absolute pathname of the current working directory to
+the standard output.
+.Pp
+Some shells may provide a builtin
+.Nm
+command which is similar or identical to this utility.
+Consult the
+.Xr builtin 1
+manual page.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl L
+Display the logical current working directory.
+If the
+.Ev PWD
+environment variable is set to an absolute path with no
+.Ql \&.
+or
+.Ql \&..
+components, and
+.Xr stat 2
+confirms it refers to the same inode as
+.Ql \&. ,
+then
+.Ev PWD
+is printed as-is.
+Otherwise the physical path is used as a fallback.
+.It Fl P
+Display the physical current working directory (all symbolic links
+resolved).
+The path is obtained via
+.Xr getcwd 3 .
+.El
+.Pp
+If no options are specified, the
+.Fl L
+option is assumed.
+.Sh ENVIRONMENT
+Environment variables used by
+.Nm :
+.Bl -tag -width ".Ev PWD"
+.It Ev PWD
+Logical current working directory.
+Used only when
+.Fl L
+is in effect (the default).
+.El
+.Sh EXIT STATUS
+.Ex -std
+.Pp
+A non-zero exit status is returned when
+.Xr getcwd 3
+fails (e.g.\& the current directory has been deleted or permissions
+deny traversal) or when writing to standard output fails.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+Show current working directory with symbolic links resolved:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+$ /bin/pwd -P
+/usr/src/sys/kern
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Show the logical current directory when inside a symlink:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+$ mkdir -p real/sub
+$ ln -s real link
+$ cd link/sub
+$ /bin/pwd -L
+/home/user/link/sub
+$ /bin/pwd -P
+/home/user/real/sub
+.Ed
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr cd 1 ,
+.Xr realpath 1 ,
+.Xr sh 1 ,
+.Xr stat 2 ,
+.Xr getcwd 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Nm
+utility conforms to
+.St -p1003.1-2001 .
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command appeared in
+.At v5 .
+.Sh BUGS
+In interactive shells the builtin
+.Nm
+command is always faster and maintains a logical path stack.
+However, it can give a different answer in the rare case that the
+current directory or a containing directory was moved after the shell
+descended into it.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl L
+option does not work unless the
+.Ev PWD
+environment variable is exported by the shell.
