The underlying code for getcwd(3C) is pretty simple...  If you notice the
"SEE ALSO" section, you'll figure it out too.   getcwd(3C) basically
malloc's a piece of memory, open's a pipe to pwd(1) using popen(2), and
then reads in the contents of the pwd command.   So if you don't have
this on your machine you should be able to easily make one.
