<h3>CHDIR(2) Linux Programmer's Manual CHDIR(2)
</h3>
<h3>NAME
</h3> chdir, fchdir - change working directory
<h3>SYNOPSIS
</h3> #include <unistd.h>
int chdir(const char *path);
int fchdir(int fd);
<h3>DESCRIPTION
</h3> chdir changes the current directory to that specified in
path.
fchdir is identical to chdir, only that the directory is
given as an open file descriptor.
<h3>RETURN VALUE
</h3> On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned,
and errno is set appropriately.
<h3>ERRORS
</h3> Depending on the file system, other errors can be
returned. The more general errors are listed below:
EPERM The process does not have execute permission on
the directory.
EFAULT path points outside your accessible address space.
ENAMETOOLONG
path is too long.
EBADF The fd is not a valid file descriptor.
ENOENT The file does not exist.
ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory was available.
ENOTDIR A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
EACCES Search permission is denied on a component of the
path prefix.
ELOOP path contains a circular reference (i.e., via a
symbolic link)
