NAME

       System::chdir - Change directory

SYNOPSIS

       Void chdir( String path )

DESCRIPTION

       Change  the  current  working directory to another directory. The directory path given can be relative or
       absolute.

    // currently in /home/me/working
    chdir("sub"); // now in /home/me/working/sub
    chdir("../../.."); // now in /home
    chdir("/tmp"); // now in /tmp

       The function behaves in a similar fashion on Windows

    // currently in C:\kaya\programs
    chdir("sub"); // now in C:\kaya\programs\sub
    chdir("..\\.."); // now in C:\kaya
    chdir("\\Program Files"); // now in C:\Program Files
    chdir("F:\\data"); // now in F:\data

       Note the need to escape the backslashes used as a path separator.
