Method: FileUtils.chdir

Defined in:
lib/fileutils.rb

.chdir ⇒ Object

Changes the working directory to the given dir, which should be interpretable as a path:

With no block given, changes the current directory to the directory at dir; returns zero:

FileUtils.pwd # => "/rdoc/fileutils"
FileUtils.cd('..')
FileUtils.pwd # => "/rdoc"
FileUtils.cd('fileutils')

With a block given, changes the current directory to the directory at dir, calls the block with argument dir, and restores the original current directory; returns the block’s value:

FileUtils.pwd                                     # => "/rdoc/fileutils"
FileUtils.cd('..') { |arg| [arg, FileUtils.pwd] } # => ["..", "/rdoc"]
FileUtils.pwd                                     # => "/rdoc/fileutils"

Keyword arguments:
