CD(1)                   GENIX Programmer's Manual                   CD(1)



      NAME
           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 there-
           fore 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).
