The <code>cd</code> command is used to change the working directory<br>
|
||
|
The name stands for <i>Change Directory</i>.<br>
|
||
|
|
||
|
The default cd command syntax is:
|
||
|
|
||
|
<pre>
|
||
|
cd [flags] [path]
|
||
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Where [flags] are the cd flags, read below for more info,and [path] is the
|
||
|
path (absolute or relative), of the directory which we want to make as working directory.<br><br>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<h3>Change the working directory</h3>
|
||
|
Let's see how to use the command <code>cd</code> in order to change the working directory
|
||
|
|
||
|
<pre>
|
||
|
pwd
|
||
|
~
|
||
|
cd Desktop/multimedia
|
||
|
pwd
|
||
|
~/Desktop/multimedia
|
||
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
||
|
As you can see, we changed the working directory from ~ (which stands for HOME),
|
||
|
to "multimedia". Now our Shell will work on the directory "multimedia"
|
||
|
until a new cd will occour.<br>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<b>Notice:</b> If you want to move to a directory which is not contained in the
|
||
|
current working directory, you <u>MUST</u> use the <a href="foo.html">absolute path</a>.
