/*
NAME
	getcwd -- get absolute pathname for current working directory

SYNOPSIS
	char *getcwd (char pathname[len], len)

DESCRIPTION
	Copy the absolute pathname for the current working directory into
	the supplied buffer and return a pointer to the buffer.  If the 
	current directory's path doesn't fit in LEN characters, the result
	is NULL and errno is set.

	If pathname is a null pointer, getcwd() will obtain size bytes of
	space using malloc.

BUGS
	Emulated via the getwd() call, which is reasonable for most
	systems that do not have getcwd().
