mcd(1)


NAME
     mcd - change MSDOS directory

SYNOPSIS
     mcd [msdosdirectory]

DESCRIPTION
     Without arguments,  mcd  will  report  the  current  device  and  working
     directory.  Otherwise, mcd changes the current device and current working
     directory relative to an MSDOS filesystem.

     The environmental variable MCWD may be used to locate the file where  the
     device  and current working directory information is stored.  The default
     is '$HOME/.mcwd'.  Information in this file is ignored  if  the  file  is
     more than 6 hours old.

     MSDOS subdirectory names  are  supported  with  either  the  '/'  or  '\'
     separator.   The  use  of the '\' separator or wildcards will require the
     directory name to be enclosed in quotes to protect it from the shell.

     Mcd returns 0 on success or 1 on failure.

SEE ALSO
     mdir(1), mtools(1).

BUGS
     Unlike MSDOS versions of CD, mcd can be used to change to another device.

     It may be wise to remove old .mcwd files at logout.
