[AmigaOS 3.1 Command Reference/CD] 
 
 
 CD
 
  
 Format:	CD [<dir|pattern>] 
  
 Template:	DIR 
  
 Purpose:	To set, change, or display the current directory. 
  
 Path:		Internal 
  
 Specification: 
  
 CD with no arguments displays the name of the current directory. When a 
 valid directory name is given, CD makes the named directory the current 
 directory. 
  
 CD does not search through the disk for the specified directory. It expects 
 it to be in the current directory. If it is not, you must give a complete 
 path to the directory. If CD cannot find the specified directory in the 
 current directory or in the given path, a Can't find <directory> error 
 message is displayed. 
  
 If you want to move up a level in the filing hierarchy to the parent 
 directory of the current directory, enter CD followed by a space and a 
 single slash (/). Moving to another directory in the parent can be done 
 at the same time by including its name after the slash. If the current 
 directory is a root directory, CD / will have no effect. Multiple slashes 
 are allowed; each slash refers to an additional higher level. When using 
 multiple slashes, leave no spaces between them. 
  
 To move directly to the root directory of the current device, use CD 
 followed by a space and a colon, i.e., CD :. 
  
 CD also supports pattern matching. If more than one directory matches the 
 given pattern, an error message is displayed. 
  
 Example 1: 
  
 1> CD DF1:Work 
  
 Sets the current directory to the Work directory on the disk in drive DF1:. 
  
 Example 2: 
  
 1> CD SYS:Com/Basic 
  
 Makes the subdirectory Basic in the Com directory the current directory. 
  
 Example 3: 
  
 1> CD // 
  
 Moves up two levels in the directory structure. 
  
 Example 4: 
  
 1> CD SYS:Li#? 
  
 Uses the #? pattern to match with the Libs: directory.
