Linux Essentials (010-160) — Question 61

Which of the following commands shows the absolute path to the current working directory?

Answer options

• A. who
• B. cd ..
• C. pwd
• D. ls -l
• E. cd ~/home

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The command 'pwd' stands for 'print working directory' and it directly outputs the absolute path to the current directory. In contrast, 'who' displays logged-in users, 'cd ..' changes to the parent directory, 'ls -l' lists files in long format, and 'cd ~/home' changes to a specific directory without showing the current path.
