+command which is similar or identical to this utility.
+Consult the
+.Xr builtin 1
+manual page.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl L
+Display the logical current working directory.
+.It Fl P
+Display the physical current working directory (all symbolic links resolved).
+.El
+.Pp
+If no options are specified, the
+.Fl L
+option is assumed.

+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+$ /bin/pwd
+/usr/src/sys/kern
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Show the logical current directory.
+Then use
+.Xr file 1
+to inspect the

+.Xr csh 1 ,
+.Xr realpath 1 ,
+.Xr sh 1 ,
+.Xr getcwd 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Nm
+utility conforms to
+.St -p1003.1-2001 .
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command appeared in
+.At v5 .
+.Sh BUGS
+In
+.Xr csh 1
+the command
+.Ic dirs
+is always faster because it is built into that shell.
+However, it can give a different answer in the rare case
+that the current directory or a containing directory was moved after
+the shell descended into it.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl L
+option does not work unless the
+.Ev PWD
+environment variable is exported by the shell.
