... or a builtin of whatever tool you're building. look up 'chdir'.

'cd' is a shell builtin.

think about it: "cd" changes the shell's current (working) directory. Since every process has its own current directory,
 it'd be useless if it were a seperate binary, as it would only change its own directory, not that of the calling shell.

Hi QNX,

       beaglebone black Rev. C
       QT 5.3.1

I implemented a QT program similar to https://evileg.com/en/post/261/

input filesystem command such as "ls", which will list the files under current directory. and "pwd" will show the 
current directory path.

However, I am not able to change directory with command "cd".

"ls" / "pwd" and lots of other commands are available @ /opt/qnx660/target/qnx6/armle-v7/bin, however there is no "cd".

Please advise, thanks in advance.

Mike

Hi Michael Schuster,

Thank you for the quick reply.

Then is there anyway I can bring the shell environment into this QT program, in which then I am able to use "cd" to 
change directories?

Please advise, thanks in advance

Mike
