How to print current working directory in psql console?

I am shocked that no one answered the question directly in over 2 years. Everyone assumes that because you are using postgres that you must be running Linux. Well, postgres is now becoming a very popular DBMS on Windows 10.

In Windows 10, in a psql command prompt type "! dir" to print the current working directory.

To change directories in the Windows 10 psql client, "\cd /users/yourlogin".

The psql client is a unix shell running on Windows, so it is a mix of unix and dos syntax commands.

Typing in the command \! pwd will print the current working directory in psql. To change working directory use command \cd <path>; replace <path> with desired path. Eg. Running command \cd /run/mount will change the current working directory to /run/mount. Try changing the your working directory to that containing the file which you want to run and then use \i meta command as you did earlier. It will definitely work.
