# pid-cwd
Node lib to get the current working directory of given process id - cross platform*
## Usage
### Install
```bash
$ npm i pid-cwd
```
### Use
```javascript
const pidCwd = require('pid-cwd');
pidCwd(54671)
.then(cwd => {
// A check is recommended, cwd could be null sometimes (read note below)
console.log(cwd); // > /home/chipto/Dropbox
});
```
## Note
`pid-cwd` will simply return `null` if process doesn't exist, or process is owned by root/administrator or is unreachable or any other reason.
It won't throw any `EPERM` error or anything like that. It does throw if it can't recognize the OS or given `pid` is not a positive number.
\* Works as long as `process.platform` === `win32`, `linux` or `darwin`.
Throws if it's not one of those, in that case `require` manually from `pid-cwd/lib/$1` where `$1` is `win`, `linux` or `macos`
