# NAME

chdir - change your current working directory

# SYNOPSIS

chdir EXPR

chdir FILEHANDLE

chdir DIRHANDLE

chdir

# DESCRIPTION

Changes the working directory to EXPR, if possible. If EXPR is omitted, changes to the directory specified by `$ENV{HOME}`, if set; if not, changes to the directory specified by `$ENV{LOGDIR}`. (Under VMS, the variable `$ENV{SYS$LOGIN}` is also checked, and used if it is set.) If neither is set, `chdir` does nothing. It returns true upon success, false otherwise. See the example under `die`.

On systems that support fchdir, you might pass a file handle or directory handle as argument. On systems that don't support fchdir, passing handles produces a fatal error at run time.
