Is there any C function that returns the current working directory ?

If you mean with "C function" a function defined by the C standard
then the answer is no since C doesn't require that the system has
any concept of a "working directory". But, of course, there are
system specific functions for that purpose. If yot are using e.g.
a POSIX compliant system you could use getcwd().

no, there is no function to do this in the standard library.
This is platform specific so you need to ask on a platform
specific newsgroup (Unix in your case)

Of course, for some platforms (e.g. your toaster's IC) current working
directory is hard to put your finger on.
