NAME

/proc/pid/cwd - symbolic link to current working directory

DESCRIPTION

/proc/ pid /cwd

This is a symbolic link to the current working directory of the process. To find out the current working directory of process 20, for instance, you can do this:

$ cd /proc/20/cwd; pwd -P

In a multithreaded process, the contents of this symbolic link are not available if the main thread has already terminated (typically by calling pthread_exit (3)).

Permission to dereference or read ( readlink (2)) this symbolic link is governed by a ptrace access mode PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS check; see ptrace (2).
