Linux CLI - Navigating the File System

You want to save the current directory path to a file named current_dir.txt (overwriting it if it exists). Which command correctly does this?

Apwd > current_dir.txt

Bpwd >> current_dir.txt

Cpwd | current_dir.txt

Dpwd current_dir.txt

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand output redirection
The symbol > redirects the output of a command to a file, overwriting it.
Step 2: Apply redirection to pwd
Using pwd > current_dir.txt writes the current directory path into the file current_dir.txt.
Step 3: Check other options
pwd >> current_dir.txt appends instead of overwriting. Options A and C are invalid syntax.
Final Answer:
pwd > current_dir.txt -> Option A
Quick Check:
Use > to save command output to a file [OK]

Quick Trick: Use > to save output; >> appends output [OK]
