cd(n)                        Tcl Built-In Commands                       cd(n)




NAME

       cd - Change working directory


SYNOPSIS

       cd ?dirName?


DESCRIPTION

       Change  the current working directory to dirName, or to the home direc-
       tory (as specified in the HOME environment variable) if dirName is  not
       given.   Returns an empty string.  Note that the current working direc-
       tory is a per-process resource; the  cd  command  changes  the  working
       directory  for  all  interpreters  and  (in a threaded environment) all
       threads.


EXAMPLES

       Change to the home directory of the user fred:

       cd ~fred

       Change to the directory lib that is a sibling directory of the  current
       one:

       cd ../lib
