How do I determine if present working directory is physical or a link?



  • Sometimes your present working directory, may not be the physical path, it may be a link which points to the present working directory, to find out, run the following commands:

    To find the physical present working directory

    $ pwd  -P
    /unixbod/unixbod1
    

    To find the link to the present working directory

    $ pwd  -L
    /export/home/unixbod1
    

    If both directories have the same present working directory then there is no link, so the present working directory is physical path.
