>Description:
The getcwd man page says "The getcwd() function conforms to ANSI
X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C'')." but in reality, ANSI C doesn't have any
directory functions.
>How-To-Repeat:
like, type "man getcwd".
>Fix:
The Linux man page for getcwd says that it's a POSIX.1 function. Get
someone with a copy of the POSIX standard to confirm that, and make
getcwd.3 say so.
