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 Shell.  Cd is exactly equivalent to chdir (I). 

SEE ALSO

sh (I), pwd (I), chdir (I)
