## 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.

## 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.
