[c] How do I execute a Shell built-in command with a C function?

You should execute sh -c echo $PWD; generally sh -c will execute shell commands.

(In fact, system(foo) is defined as execl("sh", "sh", "-c", foo, NULL) and thus works for shell built-ins.)

If you just want the value of PWD, use getenv, though.
