NAME<\/p>\n
chdir, fchdir – change working directory<\/p>\n
SYNOPSIS<\/p>\n
#include <unistd.h><\/p>\n
int chdir(const char *path);
\nint fchdir(int fd);<\/p>\n
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):<\/p>\n
fchdir():
\n_BSD_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 ||
\n_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
\n|| \/* Since glibc 2.12: *\/ _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L<\/p>\n
DESCRIPTION<\/p>\n
chdir() changes the current working directory of the calling process
\nto the directory specified in path.<\/p>\n
fchdir() is identical to chdir(); the only difference is that the
\ndirectory is given as an open file descriptor.<\/p>\n
RETURN VALUE<\/p>\n
On success, zero is returned.\u00a0 On error, -1 is returned, and errno is
\nset appropriately.<\/p>\n
ERRORS<\/p>\n
Depending on the filesystem, other errors can be returned.\u00a0 The more
\ngeneral errors for chdir() are listed below:<\/p>\n
EACCES Search permission is denied for one of the components of path.
\n(See also path_resolution(7).)<\/p>\n
EFAULT path points outside your accessible address space.<\/p>\n
EIO\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 An I\/O error occurred.<\/p>\n
ELOOP\u00a0 Too many symbolic links were encountered in resolving path.<\/p>\n
ENAMETOOLONG
\npath is too long.<\/p>\n
ENOENT The file does not exist.<\/p>\n
ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory was available.<\/p>\n
ENOTDIR
\nA component of path is not a directory.<\/p>\n
The general errors for fchdir() are listed below:<\/p>\n
EACCES Search permission was denied on the directory open on fd.<\/p>\n
EBADF\u00a0 fd is not a valid file descriptor.<\/p>\n
CONFORMING TO<\/p>\n
SVr4, 4.4BSD, POSIX.1-2001.<\/p>\n
NOTES<\/p>\n
The current working directory is the starting point for interpreting
\nrelative pathnames (those not starting with ‘\/’).<\/p>\n
A child process created via fork(2) inherits its parent’s current
\nworking directory.\u00a0 The current working directory is left unchanged
\nby execve(2).<\/p>\n
