cd

Name

cd — change the current working directory

Synopsis

Supported for RTserver, RTclient, RTmon, RTgms, and RTacl: 

cd 
cd pathname

Description

The cd command changes the current working directory. If cd is called with an argument, it changes to the directory pathname. If cd is called without an argument, it changes to the user’s home directory.

Caution

On OpenVMS, Windows, and UNIX, the cd command calls getenv("HOME") to determine the user’s home directory. On OpenVMS, this fails if the DEC C run-time library has not been fully initialized (for example, when embedding SmartSockets into an OpenVMS FORTRAN program). On Windows systems, this fails where the HOME environment variable does not exist.
