.SH NAME

|
.BR chdir ,
|
|
.BR fchdir
|
|

|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <unistd.h>
|
|
.sp 1
|
|
int
|
|
\fBchdir\fR (const char *\fIpath\fR);
|
|

|
\fBfchdir\fR (int \fIfd\fR);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.I path
|
|
argument points to the pathname of a directory.
|
|
The
|
|
.BR chdir
|
|
function
|
|
causes the named directory
|
|
to become the current working directory, that is,
|
|
the starting point for path searches of pathnames not beginning with
|
|
a slash
|
|
.RB ( / ),
|
|
a colon
|
|
.RB ( : ),
|
|
or a device name.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR fchdir
|
|
function
|
|
causes the directory referenced by
|
|
.I fd
|
|
to become the current working directory,
|
|
the starting point for path searches of pathnames not beginning with
|
|
a slash
|
|
.RB ( / ),
|
|
a colon
|
|
.RB ( : ),
|
|
or a device name.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Under GNO, these calls are wrappers to the GS/OS
|
|
.BR SetPrefix
|
|
call. If the length of
|
|
.IR path
|
|
is equal to or less than 64 characters, both GS/OS prefix 0 (zero)
|
|
and 8 will be set. If the length of
|
|
.IR path
|
|
is over 64 characters, then GS/OS prefix 0 is set to a zero length
|
|
string and prefix 8 is set to the value of
|
|
.IR path .
|
|
.LP
|
|
If an error occurs in setting prefix 8 or both prefixes 0 and 8, then neither
|
|
prefix will be set and these calls fail. If the setting of prefix 8
|
|
succeeds but an error occurs when setting prefix 0, then prefix 0 is set
|
|
to a zero length string. In the latter case these calls are considered
|
|
to have succeeded.
|
|
.LP
|
|
In order for a directory to become the current directory,
|
|
a process must have execute (search) access to the directory.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.
|
|
Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and
|
|
.IR errno
|
|
is set to indicate
|
|
the error.
