CHDIR(2) Minix Programmer's Manual CHDIR(2)
|
|
|
|
|
|
NAME
|
|
chdir - change current working directory
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <unistd.h>
|
|
|
|
int chdir(const char *path)
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Path is the pathname of a directory. Chdir causes this directory to
|
|
become the current working directory, the starting point for path names
|
|
not beginning with ``/''.
|
|
|
|
In order for a directory to become the current directory, a process must
|
|
have execute (search) access to the directory.
|
|
|
|
RETURN VALUE
|
|
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, a value
|
|
of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
|
|
|
|
ERRORS
|
|
Chdir will fail and the current working directory will be unchanged if
|
|
one or more of the following are true:
|
|
|
|
[ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
|
|
|
|
[ENAMETOOLONG] The path name exceeds PATH_MAX characters.
|
|
|
|
[ENOENT] The named directory does not exist.
|
|
|
|
[ELOOP] Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating
|
|
the pathname. (Minix-vmd)
|
|
|
|
[EACCES] Search permission is denied for any component of the path
|
|
name.
|
|
|
|
[EFAULT] Path points outside the process's allocated address space.
