While reading the code for /bin/pwd, I noticed that the default behavior in the code is to assume -P if no arguments are supplied, but according to POSIX it shoud be -L (https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/utilities/pwd.html) Is it for convenience reasons or other technical reasons? Seems like an easy change to make it compliant.home | help
