NAME

getcwd - return absolute path to current directory

SYNOPSIS

#include <ast.h>
char* getcwd(char* buf, size_t len);

DESCRIPTION

getcwd copies the absolute path name of the current directory info into buf of length len. The return path may be longer than PATH_MAX. If buff == 0 then space is allocated via malloc(3) and len extra characters are reserved after the generated path name. A pointer to the path name is returned, 0 on error.
