- NAME
- mcd - change MSDOS directory
-
- SYNOPSIS
- mcd [ msdosdirectory ]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Without arguments, mcd will report the current device and
- working directory. Otherwise, mcd changes the current
- device and current working directory relative to an MSDOS
- filesystem.
-
- The environmental variable MCWD may be used to locate the
- file where the device and current working directory infor-
- mation is stored. The default is '$HOME/.mcwd'. Informa-
- tion in this file is ignored if the file is more than 6
- hours old.
-
- MSDOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/'
- or '\' separator. The use of the '\' separator or wild-
- cards will require the directory name to be enclosed in
- quotes to protect it from the shell.
-
- Mcd returns 0 on success or 1 on failure.
-
- SEE ALSO
- mdir(1)
-
- BUGS
- Unlike MSDOS versions of CD, mcd can be used to change to
- another device.
-
- It may be wise to remove old .mcwd files at logout.
