CHDIR(I) - History

CHDIR(I) CHDIR(I)

chdir - change working directory

chdir directory

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.

sh(I), pwd(I)
