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 infor-
mation is stored. The default is '$HOME/.mcwd'. Informa-
tion 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 wild-
cards 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)
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.
