Bug#880570: ITP: xcwd -- X current working directory



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Benjamin Barenblat <bbaren@mit.edu>

* Package name    : xcwd
  Upstream Author : Adrien Schildknecht <adrien+dev@schischi.me>
* URL             : https://github.com/schischi/xcwd/
* License         : BSD-3-clause
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : X current working directory

Xcwd is a simple tool which prints the current working directory of the
focused window.  It's useful for launching applications directly into
the same directory as the focused application - for instance, you might
want to launch a new terminal in the same directory as your editor.

Xcwd is, by the author's own admission, an ugly hack; however, it works
with xterm(1) and urxvt(1), so it's still generally useful. In the
absence of a proper way to get this information, it's probably better
than nothing. In any case, I use it and would like to be able to apt
install it rather than scping it everywhere.
