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)
