NAME

       cd - Change working directory

SYNOPSIS

       cd ?dirName?
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       Change  the  current  working  directory  to  dirName, or to the home directory (as specified in the HOME
       environment variable) if dirName is not given.  Returns an empty string.  Note that the  current  working
       directory  is  a  per-process resource; the cd command changes the working directory for all interpreters
       and (in a threaded environment) all threads.

EXAMPLES

       Change to the home directory of the user fred:
              cd ~fred

       Change to the directory lib that is a sibling directory of the current one:
              cd ../lib
