I'm trying to programatically get and save the current working directory using a low-level system call. They key points are that I need to store the path string for later use and whatever system call I use must be available in single-user mode. Using a call like system ("/bin/pwd") displays the path to stdout but I can't figure out how to redirect the string to a character array for later concatenation. Since the string already exists in the PWD env variable, is there some way to read that in a C program? I'm not sure the latter is the best way though since the user's shell may be different than bash. I've been searching the online docs for hours and haven't found a way to do this yet.
