- lovelyviking 6y agook this one yes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTfOnGZUZDk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTfOnGZUZDk so, does it make me incorrect in general idea? what about ls? echo?
- vcxy 6y agoIt happens that the p in pwd actually does historically mean print from multics, but honestly I just do not care about that, let the p mean whatever you want. My inner monologue will always be "present working directory" even though I think that option is totally silly, my brain is stuck with it now. I just thought I was offering an interesting fact about where "grep" comes from.
