CD(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual CD(1) NAME cd - change working directory SYNOPSIS cd directory DESCRIPTION _D_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y becomes the new working directory. The process must have execute (search) permission in _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y. Because a new process is created to execute each command, _c_d would be ineffective if it were written as a normal command. It is therefore recognized and executed by the shells. In _c_s_h(1) you may specify a list of directories in which _d_i_r_e_c_- _t_o_r_y is to be sought as a subdirectory if it is not a sub- directory of the current directory; see the description of the _c_d_p_a_t_h variable in _c_s_h(1).
