|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm cd
|
|
.Ar directory
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Ar Directory
|
|
is an absolute or relative pathname which becomes the new working
|
|
directory.
|
|
The interpretation of a relative pathname by cd depends on the CDPATH
|
|
environment variable (see below).
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
The following environment variables affect the execution of cd:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Ev CDPATH
|
|
If the
|
|
.Ar directory
|
|
operand does not begin with a slash (/) character, and the first
|
|
component is not dot (.) or dot-dot (..),
|
|
.Nm cd
|
|
searches for the directory relative to each directory named in the
|
|
.Ev CDPATH
|
|
variable, in the order listed.
|
|
The new working directory is set to the first matching directory found.
|
|
An empty string in place of a directory pathname represents the current
|
|
directory.
|
|
If the new working directory was derived from
|
|
.Ev CDPATH ,
|
|
it will be printed to the standard output.
|
|
.It Ev HOME
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm cd
|
|
is invoked without arguments and the
|
|
.Ev HOME
|
|
environment variable exists and contains a directory name, that directory
|
|
becomes the new working directory.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr csh 1
|
|
for more information on environment variables.
|

|
|
.Nm cd
|
|
utility exits 0 on success, and \*[Gt]0 if an error occurs.
