Hi!
----
A while ago I filed bug #6452782 ("RFE: /usr/bin/pwd should support the
-P and -L options") to ge tthe "-P" and "-L" options implemented for
/usr/bin/pwd ...
... but today I realised (after consuming some coffee) that this idea is
completely for /dev/null (or just incredibly dumb) - calling "pwd" as
seperate process will always only see the physical path (e.g. all
symlinks resolved) and not the logical view. Therefore the whole RFE is
"invalid".
However IMO it would still make sense to use the libshell builtin code
for this - what is the Sun policy in this case ? Is an ARC case required
for this (e.g. both the current code for "pwd" and the use of the
libshell builtin code will produce identical results) ?

Bye,
Roland
