NAME
fcdcmd, fcd - change client's current working directory in the FSP database
SYNOPSIS
fcdcmd
path
fcd
path
DESCRIPTION
If no paths are given, / is used as the current working directory. If
path
begins with a /,
fcdcmd
uses it as the current working directory. Otherwise,
fcdcmd
appends
path
to the end of the current working directory. In both cases,
fcdcmd
simplifies the new path and writes it to the
stdout.
In order for the effect of
fcdcmd
to be felt in subsequent FSP transactions, user needs to save the
stdout
output in the
FSP_DIR
variable. If the change is successful,
fcdcmd
will display the protection setting of the new working directory.
fcdcmd
will perform
csh
file name globbing based on file and directory information
obtained from the FSP database.
Since user's command shells generally cannot do the proper globbing for
this program, it is recommended that user defines a shell alias or
function to turn off command shell globbing before running this program.
csh
example:
alias fcd setenv FSP_DIR \`\(set noglob\; exec fcdcmd \!\*\)\`
ENVIRONMENT
The following variables associate this program with a FSP database:
- FSP_HOST
-
The name or internet number of the machine with the FSP server.
- FSP_PORT
-
The port number of the UDP socket used by the FSP server.
- FSP_LOCALPORT
-
The port number of the UDP socket used by FSP client utilities.
The only reason to define this variable is to ensure mutual
exclusion of client commands when none of the udp packet
multiplexing mechanisms are enabled during compile time.
You may pick any number not currently used for other purposes.
- FSP_DIR
-
The current working directory of the client in the FSP database.
The root of the database is /.
- FSP_TIMEOUT
-
If this variable is set, it contains the timeout value. The default value is 4.
No function if program was compiled without timeout code.

BUGS
If more than one
path
is given, only the first one will be used.
The rest will be silently ignored.
