The command pwd displays your current/present working directory.
the command 'cd ~' will get you there .
The command 'pwd' will identify the full path of the present working directory.
The pwd command prints the working directory. The working directory is the directory you are "in", where operations on files that don't have an absolute path specified will be performed. For instance, if my working directory is /home/username/stuff, then the command echo "test" > test.txt would place the file test.txt in that directory.
You change the current working path directory in Linux by issuing the cd command, followed by the directory you want to change to. For example:cd /dev/inputwould take me to the that directory.
In Linux, the utility used to display the pathname of the current working directory is the pwd command, which stands for "print working directory." When executed, it outputs the full path of the directory you are currently in. This command is commonly used in terminal sessions to confirm your location within the file system.
In a Linux terminal, the command to create a new directory is: mkdir .
ls -la
ls will list the contents of a directory.
ls
Use the following command: cd .. The ".." indicates the parent of the current directory
pwd
The command "man ls" will tell you about the 'ls' command. The last part will be ignored because it isn't part of the manual entry for the 'ls' command.The command as you can given it is most likely because you want to know what will happen when you issue the 'ls abcdat' command in Linux. The answer is that it will list out the name (in a short form) of the file or directory abcdat if it exists in your current working directory.
