System Calls chdir(2)
NAME
chdir, fchdir - change working directory
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int chdir(const char *path);
int fchdir(int fildes);
DESCRIPTION
The chdir() and fchdir() functions cause a directory pointed
to by path or fildes to become the current working direc-
tory. The starting point for path searches for path names
not beginning with / (slash). The path argument points to
the path name of a directory. The fildes argument is an open
file descriptor of a directory.
For a directory to become the current directory, a process
must have execute (search) access to the directory.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is
returned, the current working directory is unchanged, and
errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The chdir() function will fail if:
EACCES Search permission is denied for any
component of the path name.
EFAULT The path argument points to an ille-
gal address.
EINTR A signal was caught during the exe-
cution of the chdir() function.
EIO An I/O error occurred while reading
from or writing to the file system.
ELOOP Too many symbolic links were encoun-
tered in translating path.

ENAMETOOLONG The length of the path argument
exceeds PATH_MAX, or the length of a
path component exceeds NAME_MAX
while _POSIX_NO_TRUNC is in effect.
ENOENT Either a component of the path pre-
fix or the directory named by path
does not exist or is a null path-
name.
ENOLINK The path argument points to a remote
machine and the link to that machine
is no longer active.
ENOTDIR A component of the path name is not
a directory.
The fchdir() function will fail if:
EACCES Search permission is denied for
fildes.
EBADF The fildes argument is not an open
file descriptor.
EINTR A signal was caught during the exe-
cution of the fchdir() function.
EIO An I/O error occurred while reading
from or writing to the file system.
ENOLINK The fildes argument points to a
remote machine and the link to that
machine is no longer active.
