Issue
I just discovered that I can access to admin directory through two path :
cd /
cd //
And in the second case (cd //
), when I do pwd
, output is : //
And the same when I'm going into /boot/ (pwd : //boot
), /home/ (pwd : //home
) and every other admin directory.
So what is the difference ? Is it just an alias, a bug or a specific feature ?
Solution
Use realpath
to get the real path of your current directory.
//
is a symlink of /
in some linux distributions and cd
set pwd
by what you've entered.
It will be the same for all symlink directories you are in, if you get pwd
after cd
!
