<h3>Name</h3>
__getcwd - get name of current working directory (backend)

<h3>Library</h3>
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

<h3>Synopsis</h3>
#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;<br>
<br>
int<br>
__getcwd(char *<em>buf</em>, size_t <em>buflen</em>);

<h3>Description</h3>

The name of the current directory is computed and stored in
<em>buf</em>, an area of size <em>buflen</em>. The length of data
actually stored, which must be non-negative, is returned.
<p>

Note: this call behaves like <A HREF=read.html>read</A> - the name
stored in <em>buf</em> is not 0-terminated.
<p>

This function is not meant to be called except by the C library;
application programmers should use <A HREF=../libc/getcwd.html>getcwd</A>
instead.

<h3>Return Values</h3>
On success, __getcwd returns the length of the data returned. 
On error, -1 is returned, and <A HREF=errno.html>errno</A>
is set according to the error encountered.

<h3>Errors</h3>

The following error codes should be returned under the conditions
given. Other error codes may be returned for other errors not
mentioned here.

<blockquote><table width=90%>
<td width=10%>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
<tr><td>ENOENT</td>     <td>A component of the pathname no longer exists.</td></tr>
<tr><td>EIO</td>                <td>A hard I/O error occurred.</td></tr>
<tr><td>EFAULT</td>             <td><em>buf</em> points to an invalid address.</td></tr>
</table></blockquote>
