CHDIR(I)                     3/15/72                     CHDIR(I)







NAME

     chdir - change working directory



SYNOPSIS

     chdir directory



DESCRIPTION

     Directory becomes the new working  directory.   The  process

     must  have execute permission on the 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.



SEE ALSO

     sh(I)
