NAME CHDIR(I) chdir - change working directory SYNOPSIS chdir directory cd directory DESCRIPTION Directory becomes the new working directory. The process must have execute (search) permission in directory. Because a new process is created to execute each command, chdir would be ineffective if it were written as a normal command. It is therefore recognized and executed by the Shell. Cd is a synonym for chdir and acts identically. SEE ALSO sh(I), pwd(I)
