http://purl.org/tcl/home/man/tcl8.4/TclCmd/cd.htm ---- A frequently made mistake [http://starbase.neosoft.com/~claird/comp.lang.tcl/fmm.html] that programmers make is to attempt to exec the cd command. '''cd''' stands for ''change directory''. This sets a kernel specific piece of information regarding what files within a filesystem the application will see if they use ''relative pathnames'' (that is to say, pathnames either beginning with ./ , ../ , or without any leading directory indicatory). This kernel value is a unique value per process - changing it in one process won't change it in other existing processes. ---- [Tcl syntax help] - [Arts and crafts of Tcl-Tk programming] - [Category Command]
