Where are the private / public key files stored when creating them with cardano-cli?

Question

I am using the cardano-cli for creating the signing / verification keys.

cardano-cli address key-gen --verification-key-file pay.vkey --signing-key-file pay.key

Does anybody know where these files are stored?

Thank you

They are located in the directory where you enter the command. In the terminal, type in pwd and that will show you where your working on your system. Once you run the cardano-cli commands, type in ls to view all folders and files in that directory.
