``pwd`` outputs (prints) the current working directory.

The following options are available:

**-L** or **--logical**
    Output the logical working directory, without resolving symlinks (default behavior).

**-P** or **--physical**
    Output the physical working directory, with symlinks resolved.

**-h** or **--help**
    Displays help about using this command.
