     CD(1)                                                       CD(1)

     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 Shell.
