`CD`

Change current working directory

Change syncd’s working directory. Every later relative path depends on it: rcload, the automatic <word>.soc lookup for unknown commands, log, save and others. Paths are inside the syncd container, and the command runs there as root. The change lasts until syncd restarts.

cd <dir>: change directory (paths up to 511 characters).
cd -sethome <dir>: also make <dir> the home directory (HOME). It must be an absolute path. -sethome is case-sensitive.

The built-in help mentions FTP (user%password@host:<path>) and /flash paths. Neither works on SONiC. Also, cd without a directory does not go home, as the help suggests: it prints sh_cd, #01: Failed ARG_GET and fails.

drivshell> cd /tmp

Built-in help

Parameters: [[-sethome] <directory>]
    Change current working directory. <directory> must be of the
    form "usr%password@host:<path>" or "/flash/<directory>" for
    FTP to remote system or local flash disk respectively.
    If the target directory does not exist, this command may still
    succeed, but attempts to access files may fail.
    The -sethome option sets the new directory to be the home directory.
