I am working in a mini project: "MY OWN COMMAND INTERPRETER (SHELL)", like the Bash shell or Sh shell. Till now it can execute every predefined commands like ls, ps, pwd, date. Except this I have implemented some other operations like Input Redirection(<), output redirection(>), PIPE (|) features. Along with this i have implemented my own user-commands like pid, ppid, quit, hist.
vvdnlt208@vvdnlt208-Vostro-3446:~/project/Vector/sourabh/unix/proj2$ ./my_sh
<1 SOURABH> ls

But I am facing some difficulty in executing the cd command...
<12 SOURABH> cd
cd: No such file or directory
<13 SOURABH> cd dir
cd: No such file or directory
<14 SOURABH>
Someone told me to implement it by my own... Please help me in doing this. Thanks in advance.
cd
is not a program, it's a built-in command. The built-in command are directly built into the shell.
To implement cd
, you basically need to
chdir()
to change the current directoryOLDPWD
and PWD
)
