Finding your location in the file system
When you work at the command line, it is easy to forget your location in the directory tree structure. You can view your location by changing the information of your command line prompt to include the path of your working directory. For information about changing your command line prompt, see "Customizing the shell." You can also use the Print Working Directory command (pwd) to view your location in the file system without changing your shell prompt. The shell responds to the pwd command by displaying the absolute path name of your working directory.
To find your location in the file system
1. At the command line, type,
pwd
2. Press ENTER.
