A2osX Shell CD Command Help
|
|
|
|
cd <value>
|
|
|
|
The cd command is used to change the current working directory. You must
|
|
supply the cd command a valid relative or absolute path. Examples of
|
|
relative paths include subdir1 (a sub-directory in the current directory),
|
|
../subdir2 (a sub-directory in the parent of the current directory), and
|
|
subdir1/subdir3 ( a sub-directory in the sub-directory subdir1 of the current
|
|
directory). An absolute path always begins with a / and includes the volume
|
|
name of the disk drive to which change the current working directory such as
|
|
/MYVOL1/var/logs (the sub-directory logs in the directory var on the disk
|
|
with a volume label of MYVOL1).

You can use the pwd command to display the current working directory if your
|
|
prompt ($) does not automatically display it on the command line (the default,
|
|
set in your PROFILE). The current working directory is used by the shell to
|
|
look for scripts not located in one of the directories specified by $PATH or
|
|
as the directory for reading and writing files when no path is provided by a
|
|
command. For example, if you execute the ls command without arguments, ls
|
|
assumes to list the files in the current working directory. Similarly, if
|
|
you specify a file without a path, for example the command echo Hello >
|
|
outfile, shell will place the file outfile in the current working directory.

See the related popd and pushd commands.
