       21 +The
       22 +.Fn getwd
       23 +function determines an absolute pathname of the current
  25   24  working directory of the calling process, and copies that pathname into the

  29   29  If the length of the pathname of the current working directory is greater than
  30      -(\fIPATH_MAX\fR + 1) including the null byte, \fBgetwd()\fR fails and returns a

       34 +.Sh RETURN VALUES
  35   35  Upon successful completion, a pointer to the string containing the absolute
  36   36  pathname of the current working directory is returned.  Otherwise,
  37      -\fBgetwd()\fR returns a null pointer and the contents of the array pointed to
  38      -by \fIpath_name\fR are undefined.
