DESCRIPTION

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