3.1 cd
The cd command changes the working directory.
Syntax:
cd '<directory-name>' |
The directory name must be enclosed in quotes.
Examples:
cd 'subdir'
cd ".."
|
It is recommended that Windows users use single-quotes, because backslash [\] has special significance inside double-quotes and has to be escaped. For example,
cd "c:\newdata" |
fails, but
cd 'c:\newdata'
cd "c:\\newdata"
|
work as expected.
