How does Linux display the current directory path?
When you use the `pwd` command in the terminal of a Linux system, it will display the full path of the current working directory. Here are more detailed steps:
Open the terminal: You can open the terminal by pressing the `Ctrl + Alt + T` shortcut keys or by searching for and opening the terminal in the application menu.
2. Enter the `pwd` command: In the terminal window, type the following command and press Enter.
pwd
3. Checking the current directory path: When you execute the command, the terminal will immediately display the full path of the current directory. For example, it may show a path like `/home/username/Documents`.
Important points to note:
The pwd command doesn’t require any parameters or options.
Replace the `username` in the path with your current logged-in username.
If the current directory is a symbolic link, the `pwd` command will display the actual path that the symbolic link points to.
4. “pwd” is short for “print working directory”, which means to display the current working directory.
