gno/bin/gsh/man/cd.1
gdr-ftp d2efd0151f Initial checkin of man pages for some of the gsh builtin commands.
Not all builtins are represented here.  Some information (such as
a dependancy on the 31/ prefix) is probably out of date, too.

.SH NAME
.LP
cd \- change working directory (gsh builtin)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.B cd
[
.I directory
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.I directory
becomes the new working directory.
If
.B cd
is used without arguments, it returns you
to your $HOME directory.
.LP
Because a new process is created to execute each command,
.B cd
would be ineffective if it were written as a normal command. It is therefore
recognized and executed by the shells.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.LP
.BR pwd (1)
