>Description:
	The getcwd man page says "The getcwd() function conforms to ANSI
	X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C'')." but in reality, ANSI C doesn't have any
	directory functions.

>How-To-Repeat:
	like, type "man getcwd".
>Fix:
	The Linux man page for getcwd says that it's a POSIX.1 function. Get
	someone with a copy of the POSIX standard to confirm that, and make
	getcwd.3 say so.
