NAME
cd - change working directory
SYNOPSIS
cd directory
DESCRIPTION
_D_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y becomes the new working directory. The process must have execute (search) permission in _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y.
Because a new process is created to execute each command, _c_d would be ineffective if it were written as a normal command. It is therefore recognized and executed by the Shell.
