Cd

The cd command changes the working directory.

Syntax:

     cd '<directory-name>'

The directory name must be enclosed in quotes.

Examples:

     cd 'subdir'
     cd ".."

It is recommended that Windows users use single-quotes, because backslash [$\backslash$] has special significance inside double-quotes and has to be escaped. For example,

     cd "c:\newdata"

fails, but

     cd 'c:\newdata'
     cd "c:\\newdata"

work as expected.
