#Dir.Current

##Syntax Dir.Current : string

##Description Dir.Current returns the full path name of the current execution directory. This is the equivalent of doing a pwd in UNIX.

##Details If the Dir.Current call fails, then Error.Last will return a non-zero value indicating the reason for the failure. Error.LastMsg will return a string which contains the textual version of the error.

##Example This program changes to the directory called /usr/west and then lists the current directory.

    Dir.Change ("/usr/west")
    if Error.Last = eNoError  then
        put "Directory changed"
    else
        put "Did not change the directory."
        put "Error: ", Error.LastMsg
    end if
    put "The current execution directory is ", Dir.Current

##Example An example demonstrating the use of several of the Dir subprogramsis available. In this example, a directory is created, a file is writtento the directory, an attempt is made to delete the directory, the file isdeleted, and then the directory is deleted.

This example demonstrates the use of Dir.Change, Dir.Current, Dir.Create, and Dir.Delete.

##Status Exported qualified.

This means that you can only call the function by calling Dir.Current, not by calling Current.
