chdir() Change Current Working Directory
#include <dir.h> Required for declarations only
int chdir(pathname);
const char *pathname; Path Name of new working directory
chdir() changes the current working directory to the one specified by
'pathname'.
Returns: 0, if successful. If the specified path could not be
found, -1 is returned and 'errno' is set to ENOENT.
Notes: 'pathname' must refer to an existing directory. When
referring to the root directory, use either the
forward slash ("/") or two backslashes ("\\").
'Pathname' can specify the current working directory.
'Pathname' can include a drive letter.
-------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------
Assuming the subdirectory "TEST" is defined in the root directory,
the following statement changes the current working directory to
'/TEST':
#include <dir.h>
main()
{
chdir("/TEST");
}
