CHDIR(2)                                                 CHDIR(2)

     NAME
          chdir - change working directory

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <u.h>
          #include <libc.h>

          int chdir(char *dirname)

     DESCRIPTION
          Chdir changes the working directory of the invoking process
          to dirname. The working directory is the starting point for
          evaluating file names that do not begin with `/' or `#', as
          explained in intro(2). When Plan 9 boots, the initial pro-
          cess has `/' for its working directory.
