# Function std::env::current_dir

1.0.0 · source ·

    pub fn current_dir() -> Result<PathBuf>

Expand description

Returns the current working directory as a `PathBuf`.

## Platform-specific behavior

This function currently corresponds to the `getcwd` function on Unix and the `GetCurrentDirectoryW` function on Windows.

## Errors

Returns an `Err` if the current working directory value is invalid. Possible cases:

- Current directory does not exist.
- There are insufficient permissions to access the current directory.

## Examples

    use std::env;

    fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
        let path = env::current_dir()?;
        println!("The current directory is {}", path.display());
        Ok(())
    }
