NAME
       /proc/pid/cwd - symbolic link to current working directory

DESCRIPTION
       /proc/pid/cwd
              This  is a symbolic link to the current working directory of the process.  To find out
              the current working directory of process 20, for instance, you can do this:

                  $ cd /proc/20/cwd; pwd -P

              In a multithreaded process, the contents of this symbolic link are  not  available  if
              the main thread has already terminated (typically by calling pthread_exit(3)).

              Permission  to  dereference  or read (readlink(2)) this symbolic link is governed by a
              ptrace access mode PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS check; see ptrace(2).
