Chdir
Synonym:
cd
Purpose:
Changes a directory to a different path; displays the working
directory.
Syntax:
Ll chdir [path I
Comments:
If your working directory is \ user \ emily and you want to change
your path to another directory (such as \user\pete), type the fol-
lowing
command and press the RETURN key:
chdir \user\pete
MS·DOS puts you in the new directory. There is also a shorthand
notation for the chdir command:
cd ..
This command always puts you in the parent directory of your
working directory.
Examples:
If you use chdir without a path, you can display the name of your
working directory. For example, if your working directory is
\user\pete on drive B, and you type the chdir command, then
press the RETURN key, MS·DOS displays the following:
b:\user\pete
The following command displays the name of the working direc-
tory on drive B:
chdir b:
