Arguments: &optional dir
This command and the related :popd and :pushd work just like their Unix C shell counterparts. :cd changes the current directory to dir (if supplied) or to the user's home directory (if dir is not supplied). On Windows, the home directory is taken to be C:\. :pushd changes the current directory to dir and adds it to the directory stack. If no argument is supplied, :pushd changes to the directory at the top of the directory stack and swaps the top two directories on the stack. :popd pops the current directory off the directory stack and changes the current directory to the directory that was next on that stack.
:cd, :popd, and :pushd
all change the value of cl:*default-pathname-defaults* to have directory
component the new current directory.
dir will be treated as a string but need not be surrounded in quotation marks.
See also chdir (which is
like :cd but does not change the
value of *default-pathname-defaults*) and current-directory.
See also :dirs, which prints the stack of directories and :pwd, which prints the full path of the current directory.
:cd has no abbreviation.
