NAME
cd - change working directory
SYNOPSIS
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,
cd
would be ineffective if it were written as a
normal command. It is therefore recognized and executed
by the shells.
In
csh(1)
you may specify a list of directories in which
directory
is to be sought as a subdirectory if it is not
a subdirectory of the current directory;
see the description of the
cdpath
variable in
csh(1).
