CD(1) General Commands Manual CD(1)
NAME
cd - change working directory
SYNOPSIS
cd directory
DESCRIPTION
Directory becomes the new working directory. The process must have ex‐
ecute (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 therefore
recognized and executed by the Shell.
