+.SH NAME
+chdir
+\(em change working directory
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <unistd.h>
+.P
+int chdir(const char *\fIpath\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+\fIchdir\fR()
+function shall cause the directory named by the pathname pointed to
+by the
+.IR path
+argument to become the current working directory; that is, the starting
+point for path searches for pathnames not beginning with
+.BR '/' .
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+Upon successful completion, 0 shall be returned. Otherwise, \-1 shall
+be returned, the current working directory shall remain unchanged, and
+.IR errno
+shall be set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+\fIchdir\fR()
+function shall fail if:
+.TP
+.BR EACCES
+Search permission is denied for any component of the pathname.
+.TP
+.BR ELOOP
+A loop exists in symbolic links encountered during resolution of the
+.IR path
+argument.
+.TP
+.BR ENAMETOOLONG
+.br
+The length of a component of a pathname is longer than
+{NAME_MAX}.
+.TP
+.BR ENOENT
+A component of
+.IR path
+does not name an existing directory or
+.IR path
+is an empty string.
+.TP
+.BR ENOTDIR
+A component of the pathname names an existing file that is neither
+a directory nor a symbolic link to a directory.
+.P
+The
+\fIchdir\fR()
+function may fail if:
+.TP
+.BR ELOOP
+More than
+{SYMLOOP_MAX}
+symbolic links were encountered during resolution of the
+.IR path
+argument.
+.TP
+.BR ENAMETOOLONG
+.br
+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}.
+.LP

+.SH EXAMPLES
+.SS "Changing the Current Working Directory"
+.P
+The following example makes the value pointed to by
+.BR directory ,
+.BR /tmp ,
+the current working directory.

+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+None.
+.SH RATIONALE
+The
+\fIchdir\fR()
+function only affects the working directory of the current process.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
