CHDIR(I)                     5/15/74                     CHDIR(I)







NAME

     chdir - change working directory



SYNOPSIS

     chdir 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.



SEE ALSO

     sh (I), pwd (I)
