    NAME
         cd - change working directory

    SYNOPSIS
         cd directory

    DESCRIPTION
         Directory becomes the new working directory.  The process
         must have execute (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 shells.  In
         csh(1) you may specify a list of directories in which direc-
         tory is to be sought as a subdirectory if it is not a sub-
         directory of the current directory; see the description of
         the cdpath variable in csh(1).

    SEE ALSO
         csh(1), sh(1), pwd(1), chdir(2)
