Does wd: in jobs show



  • the current working directory of each job, or

  • the previous working directory when invoking each job?

Can you demonstrate it or quote from some references?



I was under the impression of the second one when asking Does `ps` provide the working directory of each process?, but the replies seem all about the first one.




bash job-control

Jobs prints the working directory the shell had when starting the related job.



What later happens is not in the scope of the shell.
