=head1 DESCRIPTION
The getcwd() function re-implements the getcwd(3) (or getwd(3)) functions
in Perl.
+The abs_path() function takes a single argument and returns the
+absolute pathname for that argument. It uses the same algorithm
+as getcwd(). (Actually, getcwd() is abs_path(".")) Symbolic links
+and relative-path components ("." and "..") are resolved to return
+the canonical pathname, just like realpath(3). Also callable as
+realpath().
+
The fastcwd() function looks the same as getcwd(), but runs faster.
-It's also more dangerous because you might conceivably chdir() out of a
-directory that you can't chdir() back into.
+It's also more dangerous because it might conceivably chdir() you out
+of a directory that it can't chdir() you back into. If fastcwd
+encounters a problem it will return undef but will probably leave you
+in a different directory. For a measure of extra security, if
+everything appears to have worked, the fastcwd() function will check
+that it leaves you in the same directory that it started in. If it has
+changed it will C<die> with the message "Unstable directory path,
+current directory changed unexpectedly". That should never happen.
+
+The fast_abs_path() function looks the same as abs_path(), but runs faster.
+And like fastcwd() is more dangerous.
The cwd() function looks the same as getcwd and fastgetcwd but is
implemented using the most natural and safe form for the current
architecture. For most systems it is identical to `pwd` (but without
-the trailing line terminator). It is recommended that cwd (or another
-*cwd() function) is used in I<all> code to ensure portability.

If you ask to override your chdir() built-in function, then your PWD
