NAME

     chdir - change default directory

SYNOPSIS

     integer*4 function chdir (dirname)
     character*(*) dirname

DESCRIPTION

     Change the default directory for creating and locating files
     to  dirname.  Zero  is returned if successful; an error code
     otherwise.

FILES

     libF77.a

SEE ALSO

     chdir(2), cd(1), perror(3F)

RESTRICTIONS

     Path names cannot be longer than MAXPATHLEN  as  defined  in
     <sys/param.h>.

     Use of this function may cause inquire by unit to fail.

     Certain FORTRAN file operations reopen files by name.  Using
     chdir  while  doing I/O may cause the runtime system to lose
     track of files created with relative path  names,  including
     those files that are created by open statements without file
     names.
