# The `execline-cd` program

`execline-cd` changes the current working directory to a given directory, then executes a program.

## Interface

         execline-cd dir prog...

`execline-cd` performs a chdir() system call on dir, then execs into prog....

## Notes

- By default, `execline-cd` can also be invoked as `cd`: there is a `cd` program which is a symbolic link to `execline-cd`.
- When execline has been configured with the `--enable-pedantic-posix` option, the `cd` binary is a symbolic link to the posix-cd binary instead, so a `cd` command in an execline script will invoke posix-cd instead of `execline-cd`.
- Existing scripts that call `cd` will keep working no matter the chosen configuration.
