You have. Type "info libc al getcwd" at your DOS prompt...

You don't need any asm code to call such interrupts, in fact it's much
harder to do such things from asm than from C. You can't issue such
interrupt calls directly from protected mode, because the "int"
instruction generates a protected mode interrupt, while you want to call
a real mode operating system function. Use the __dpmi_int() library
function instead...

If you do want to learn AT&T asm, http://www.rt66.com/~brennan/djgpp/ is
a good plac to start.
