Manual page for CD(1)

cd - change working directory

SYNOPSIS

cd 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, cd would be ineffective if it were written as a normal command. It is therefore recognized and executed by the shells. In 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

SEE ALSO

csh(1), sh(1), pwd(1), chdir(2)
