NAME
       chdir - change working directory

SYNOPSIS
       include "sys.m";
       sys := load Sys Sys->PATH;

       chdir:  fn(path: string): int;

DESCRIPTION
       Chdir  changes  the  working  directory of the invoking process and its
       file name space group to path.

       The working directory is the starting point for evaluating  file	 names
       that do not begin with / or #, as explained in sys-intro(2).

       When  Inferno  boots,  the initial process has / for its working direc‐
       tory.

       Applications that invoke chdir normally use the FORKNS option  of  sys-
       pctl(2)	to  prevent the change from affecting the surrounding environ‐
       ment.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Returns 0 on success; -1 on failure.
