} Getwd() is to getcwd() what gets() is to fgets() [ well, almost ].

} When chosing between: getwd(char *buf) and getcwd(char *buf, size_t
} size_of_buf) the choice should be obvious.
I would have to disagree. fgets() can return any amount of data
(potentially GB if connected to a socket or very large file); whereas,
getwd() won't return anything bigger then MAXPATHLEN, so buf can be
sized appropriately.
