CHDIR(2)        DOMAIN/IX Reference Manual (SYS5)        CHDIR(2)



NAME
     chdir - change working directory

USAGE
     int chdir (path)
     char *path;

DESCRIPTION
     Path points to the pathname of a directory.  Chdir makes
     that directory the current working directory, the starting
     point for searches for pathnames that don't begin with the
     root (/).

RETURN VALUE
     Upon successful completion, chdir returns zero.  Otherwise,
     it returns a value of -1 and sets errno to indicate the
     error.

ERRORS
     Chdir will fail and the current working directory will not
     change if one or more of the following is true:

     [ENOTDIR]      A component of the pathname is not a direc-
                    tory.

     [ENOENT]       The directory named does not exist.

     [EACCES]       Search permission is denied for any component
                    of the pathname.

     [EFAULT]       Path points outside the allocated address
                    space of the process.
