mcd(1)
NAME
  mcd - mtools utility to change or report the DOS working directory

SYNOPSIS
  mcd [msdosdirectory]

DESCRIPTION
  Without arguments, the mcd command reports the current device and working
  directory.  Otherwise, the mcd command changes the current device and
  current working directory relative to a DOS filesystem.  Unlike the DOS
  command CD, the mcd command can be used to change to another device.

  The environment variable MCWD can be used to locate the file where the
  device and current working directory information is stored.  The default is
  $HOME/.mcwd.	The file is created if it does not exist and a msdosdirectory
  is specified.

  DOS pathnames that contain the '/' or '\' separator are supported.  If you
  use the '\' separator or wildcards, you must enclose filenames in quotes to
  protect them from the shell.

  The mcd command supports the use of .. to move back one directory in the
  tree, however, multiple relative moves such as ../.. are not supported and
  do not affect your current position in the directory tree.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
  The following environment variables affect the execution of mcd:

  MCWD	   If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the
	   current mtools working directory as established by the mcd
	   command.  If this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is
	   used.

NOTES
  At logout time, it is advisable to remove old .mcwd files.

EXIT VALUES
  The following exit values are returned:

  0   Success

  1   Failure

FILES
  $HOME/.mcwd  Contains the name of the current mtools working directory as
	       established by the mcd command.	If this file does not exist,
	       the default mtools working directory is A:\.

  /usr/bin/mtools/mcd
