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
