I'm writing a program in C++ using the Qt library. There is a symbolic link in my home bin directory to the executable. I would like the current working directory of my program to be the directory in which I am with my terminal (ie. the result of the pwd command). I saw the QDir::currentPath() function, but it gives back the directory where the binary is.
How can I find my current working directory?

Yes : QDir dir; Cout << dir. absolutePath() << flush; gives me the directory where the executable lives. Both QDir::currentPath() and dir. absolutePath() return the current directory of the command line.
Solution 2QDir dir("../MyProjects/ProjectB"); If the current working directory is not a sub directory of "C:\MyDevelopment\", the path will be probably invalid (not existing). This will return the path to the passed name relative to the above directory. LFName= dir.
Just tested and QDir::currentPath() does return the path from which I called my executable.
And a symlink does not "exist". If you are executing an exe from that path you are effectively executing it from the path the symlink points to.
