Change Directory as an Internal Command!

Hello,

Sorry to bother; however, I was wondering if anyone could assist me in code for a change directory function as an internal command.

Pretty much I am coding my own unix shell. I need to be able to internally code a 'cd' command to use in the syntax:

cd <directory>

If anyone can offer some insight I would be greatful!

Thanks,

slevytam

ps. would the getcwd() function be able to keep track of these directory changes?

man chdir

thanks for your reply.

chdir worked great!

sorry to be a bother but I also need to do a dir function. is there a c function which will produce a directory listing?

thanks,

slevytam

No. There are a set of functions that let you build your own though. You'll want to look at the man pages for opendir(), readdir(), and closedir().

ok thanks, ill take a look!
