[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello,

man page description has following line,
"If no option is specified, -P is assumed."
But in my machine, its default behavior seems -L without any option for pwd.

Sincerely yours,
Lee.

'man pwd' and 'env pwd --help' also tells:

  NOTE: your shell may have its own version of pwd, which usually supersedes
  the version described here.  Please refer to your shell's documentation
  for details about the options it supports.

Are you sure that you are running pwd(1) from GNU coreutils, or that of the shell?

  $ pwd            # pwd of the shell
  /home/berny/osc

  $ env pwd        # pwd of GNU coreutils
  /media/osc

  $ /usr/bin/pwd   # pwd of GNU coreutils
  /media/osc

Have a nice day,
Berny
