Newbie's Linux Manual
Command Tutorial #2: pwd & clear
by Laurence Hunter
[ Home ] [ Contents ] [ Download*] [ Previous ] [ Next ]
* In Linux enter: unzip nlm.zip
pwd - print working directory

pwd
Print working (current) directory. A simple, yet useful command you'll use time and time again.

clear - clear screen
clear
Clear the screen.
Note:

You'll rarely use this command, since it's much quicker just to press Ctrl+L. However you'll use it in scripts, multiple 'semi-colon seperated' commands, and perhaps even aliases (all of which will be dealt with later).
