the cd utility only. This is in contrast to the version built into the
shell. /usr/bin/cd has no effect on the invoking process but can be
used to determine whether or not a given directory can be set as the
current directory.
- sh
- The Bourne shell built-in cd changes the current directory to argument.
- The shell parameter HOME is the default argument. The shell parameter
- CDPATH defines the search path for the directory containing argument.
- Alternative directory names are separated by a colon (:). The default
- path is <null> (specifying the current directory). The current
- directory is specified by a null path name, which can appear
- immediately after the equal sign or between the colon delimiters
- anywhere else in the path list. If argument begins with `/', `.', or
- `..', the search path is not used. Otherwise, each directory in the
- path is searched for argument. cd must have execute (search) permission
- in argument. Because a new process is created to execute each command,
- cd would be ineffective if it were written as a normal command;
- therefore, it is recognized by and is internal to the shell. (See
- pwd(1), sh(1), and chdir(2)).

-
- chdir is just another way to call cd.

csh
If dir is not specified, the C shell built-in cd uses the value of
shell parameter HOME as the new working directory. If dir specifies a
complete path starting with `/', `.', or `..', dir becomes the new
working directory. If neither case applies, cd tries to find the

The Korn shell built-in cd command can be in either of two forms. In
the first form it changes the current directory to arg. If arg is - the
directory is changed to the previous directory. The shell variable HOME
is the default arg. The environment variable PWD is set to the current
directory. If the PWD is changed, the OLDPWD environment variable shall
