It says that -P is the default if no option is specified, but it appears that -L is actually the default. Example: $ cd /tmp $ mkdir aaa $ ln -s aaa bbb $ ls -ld bbb lrwxr-xr-x 1 steven wheel 3 Apr 3 17:20 bbb -> aaa $ cd bbb $ pwd /tmp/bbb $ pwd -L /tmp/bbb $ pwd -P /tmp/aaa If this is indeed an error, the attached patch will fix that.
