cd(3tcl)

NAME

   cd - Change working directory

SYNOPSIS

   cd ?dirName?
______________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

   Change  the  current  working  directory  to  dirName,  or  to the home
   directory (as specified in the HOME environment variable) if dirName is
   not  given.   Returns  an  empty string.  Note that the current working
   directory is a per-process resource; the cd command changes the working
   directory  for  all  interpreters  and  (in a threaded environment) all
   threads.

EXAMPLES

   Change to the home directory of the user fred:
          cd ~fred

   Change to the directory lib that is a sibling directory of the  current
   one:
          cd ../lib
