NAME
     getwd - get current working directory pathname

SYNOPSIS
     char *getwd(pathname)
     char *pathname;

DESCRIPTION
     _G_e_t_w_d copies the absolute pathname of the current working
     directory to _p_a_t_h_n_a_m_e and returns a pointer to the result.

LIMITATIONS
     Maximum pathname length is MAXPATHLEN characters (1024), as
     defined in <_s_y_s/_p_a_r_a_m._h>.

DIAGNOSTICS
     _G_e_t_w_d returns zero and places a message in _p_a_t_h_n_a_m_e if an
     error occurs.
