Имя (Name)

chdir — change working directory

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <unistd.h>

int chdir(const char *path);

Описание (Description)

The chdir() function shall cause the directory named by the pathname pointed to by the path argument to become the current working directory; that is, the starting point for path searches for pathnames not beginning with '/'.

Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

Upon successful completion, 0 shall be returned. Otherwise, -1 shall be returned, the current working directory shall remain unchanged, and errno shall be set to indicate the error.

Ошибки (Error)

The chdir() function shall fail if:

EACCES Search permission is denied for any component of the pathname.

ELOOP A loop exists in symbolic links encountered during resolution of the path argument.

ENAMETOOLONG The length of a component of a pathname is longer than {NAME_MAX}.

ENOENT A component of path does not name an existing directory or path is an empty string.

ENOTDIR A component of the pathname names an existing file that is neither a directory nor a symbolic link to a directory.

The chdir() function may fail if:

ELOOP More than {SYMLOOP_MAX} symbolic links were encountered during resolution of the path argument.

ENAMETOOLONG The length of a pathname exceeds {PATH_MAX}, or pathname resolution of a symbolic link produced an intermediate result with a length that exceeds {PATH_MAX}.

The following sections are informative.

Примеры (Examples)

Changing the Current Working Directory
       The following example makes the value pointed to by directory,
       /tmp, the current working directory.

           #include <unistd.h>
           ...
           char *directory = "/tmp";
           int ret;

           ret = chdir (directory);

Использование в приложениях (Application usage)

None.

Обоснование (Rationale)

The chdir() function only affects the working directory of the current process.
