----------------------------

Windows uses GetCurrentDirectory()

------- From docs ---------
The GetCurrentDirectory function retrieves the current directory for the
current process.

DWORD GetCurrentDirectory(

    DWORD  nBufferLength, // size, in characters, of directory buffer
    LPTSTR  lpBuffer  // address of buffer for current directory
   );
Parameters

Return Value

If the function succeeds, the return value specifies the number of
characters written to the buffer, not including the terminating null
character.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError().

If the buffer pointed to by lpBuffer is not large enough, the return value
specifies the required size of the buffer, including the number of bytes
necessary for a terminating null character.
