"getcwd", according to the S5 manual:

	This function is implemented by using popen(3S) to pipe the output
	of the pwd(1) command into the specified string space.

So if the requestor's objections to getting the current working directory by
running the "pwd" command are philosophical (i.e., it's not just the code
needed to put in the "popen"), "getcwd" isn't their cup of tea.
