            Bug ID: 265624
           Summary: bin/pwd default behavior according to man page like -P
                    but is like -L
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.3-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---

          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: pascalullrich@web.de

FreeBSD 12.3-STABLE #1 r371380

From man pwd:
"If no options are specified, the -P option is assumed."

My tests show that the  -L  option is assumed.
