     Name
          chdir - Changes the working directory.

     Syntax
          int chdir (path)
          char *path;

     Description
          path points to the pathname of a directory.  chdir causes
          the named directory to become the current working directory,
          the starting point for path searches for pathnames not
          beginning with /.

          chdir will fail and the current working directory will be
          unchanged if one or more of the following are true:

               A component of the pathname is not a directory.
               [ENOTDIR]

               The named directory does not exist.  [ENOENT]

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

               path points outside the process' allocated address
               space.  [EFAULT]

     Return Value
          Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.
          Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to
          indicate the error.
