broken cd?
by kae verens on Jun.03, 2006, under linux
In Linux, if you cd /; pwd, cd ///; pwd or cd ////; pwd, you will always be given this result:
/
However, if you cd //; pwd, you will be given this:
//
That’s also true of cd //usr/share
//usr/share
But not true of cd //usr//share
//usr/share
/me ponders that for a moment, then gets another can of carlsberg from the fridge and goes to mow the lawn.

Hmm, Solaris does this too. I wonder is it some standard Unix or POSIX thing?
