DESCRIPTION

16       Change  the current working directory to dirName, or to the home direc‐
17       tory (as specified in the HOME environment variable) if dirName is  not
18       given.   Returns an empty string.  Note that the current working direc‐
19       tory is a per-process resource; the  cd  command  changes  the  working
20       directory  for  all  interpreters  and  (in a threaded environment) all
21       threads.
