    CHDIR(I)                     5/15/74                     CHDIR(I)

    NAME
         chdir - change working directory

    SYNOPSIS
         chdir 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,
         chdir  would  be  ineffective if it were written as a normal
         command.  It is therefore recognized  and  executed  by  the
         Shell.

    SEE ALSO
         sh(I), pwd(I)
