In Unix-like and some other operating systems, the pwd command (print working directory) is used to output the path of the current working directory.

The command is a shell builtin in certain Unix shells such as sh, and bash. It can be implemented easily with the POSIX C functions getcwd() and/or getwd().

The equivalent on DOS (COMMAND.COM) and Microsoft Windows (cmd.exe) is the "cd" command with no arguments. Windows PowerShell provides the equivalent "Get-Location" cmdlet with the standard aliases "gl" and "pwd". The OpenVMS equivalent is "show default".

If the following is input into a terminal: <source lang="bash"> $ pwd /home/foobar </source>

and the computer prints out /home/foobar, that means that the directory the user is currently in is /home/foobar. In the following example, the user is located in the directory /usr/local/bin, uses the command pwd, uses the command cd .. to move back to the parent directory and then uses pwd again: <source lang="bash"> $ pwd /usr/local/bin $ cd .. $ pwd /usr/local </source>

Ryan Anthony is a trumpet player, most notable for his performances as a member of Canadian Brass, has had his performances used in many broadcasts of major U.S. television networks.

He studied violin as a child until he finally began trumpet at age seven. His first instrument was his grandfather's old cornet and he performed "Amazing Grace" that Sunday at church.

Over the next ten years, Ryan would grow in his ability to a prodigious level. He won the General Motors/Seventeen magazine concerto competition at the age of 16. At age seventeen, he caught the attention of Canadian Brass players in a local workshop. He played right alongside Fred Mills on "Handful of Keys" by Fats Waller. Chuck Dallenbach, founder of the Canadian Brass, never forgot this moment as he recounts on the CB website.

Ryan's solo in "Farewell" was also heard on the theme song to NBC's "Must See TV" in 1998.

After his education at the Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM), he was awarded the trumpet professorship at Oberlin Conservatory, where he stayed until 2000.
