NAME

       getcwd - return absolute path to current directory


SYNOPSIS

              #include <ast.h>

              char* getcwd(char* buf, size_t len);


DESCRIPTION

       getcwd copies the absolute path name of the current directory info into
       buf of length len.  The return path may be longer  than  PATH_MAX.   If
       buff  ==  0 then space is allocated via malloc(3) and len extra charac-
       ters are reserved after the generated path name.  A pointer to the path
       name is returned, 0 on error.
