CD(1)                                BSD                                 CD(1)



NAME
     cd - change working directory

SYNOPSIS
     cd directory

DESCRIPTION
     cd changes the current working directory to 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.  Therefore, it is an
     internal command in the Bourne shell, Korn shell, and the C shell.

     When using csh(1) you may specify a list of directories in which
     directory is to be sought as a subdirectory, if it is not a subdirectory
     of the current directory. See the description of the cdpath variable in
     csh(1).
