address@hidden ~]$ /usr/local/bin/pwd --help
Usage: /usr/local/bin/pwd [OPTION]
Print the full filename of the current working directory.

      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit

Report bugs to <address@hidden>.

address@hidden ~]$ pwd --version
bash: pwd: --: invalid option
pwd: usage: pwd [-PL]

address@hidden ~]$ pwd --help
bash: pwd: --: invalid option
pwd: usage: pwd [-PL]

address@hidden ~]$ which pwd
/usr/local/bin/pwd
