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).
