Command: cdd
CDD displays the name of or changes the current directory and drive.
Syntax:
CDD
CDD [drive ':'][path]
CDD '-'
CDD [..][/?]
drive The drive letter, e.g. C:
path The directory, e.g. \example\
Options:
.. Specifies that you want to change to the parent directory.
- If "last directory" feature is enabled, change to last directory.
/? Shows the help.
Comments:
The behaviour of CDD is similiar to the CD / CHDIR command, but it
always changes both the currently selected drive and the current
directory, thus, it changes the current working directory.
If drive: is specified, the current working drive is changed; this
is the only difference with "CD / CHDIR".
Type CDD without parameters to display the current drive and directory.
CDD is a command internal to command.com and needs no other file
in order to work.
Examples:
cdd C:\FREEDOS changes to the directory C:\FREEDOS
cdd .. changes back from C:\FREEDOS to C:\
cdd \ changes back from C:\anydirectory\anysubdirectory
to C:\
if you are at C\:
cdd FREEDOS changes to the directory C:\FREEDOS
cdd BIN changes to the directory C:\FREEDOS\BIN
cdd D:\EXAMPLE changes the directory on D: to D:\EXAMPLE, AND
changes the drive letter to drive D:
