POSIX specification: @url{http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/getcwd.html}

Gnulib module: getcwd

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function is missing on some older platforms.
@item
On glibc platforms, @code{getcwd (NULL, n)} allocates memory for the result.
On other platforms, this call is not allowed.
@item
This function does not handle long file names (greater than @code{PATH_MAX})
correctly on some platforms.
