1.0.0 · source ·

    pub fn set_current_dir<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Result<()>

Expand description

Changes the current working directory to the specified path.

## Platform-specific behavior

This function currently corresponds to the `chdir` function on Unix and the `SetCurrentDirectoryW` function on Windows.

Returns an `Err` if the operation fails.

## Examples

    use std::env;
    use std::path::Path;

    let root = Path::new("/");
    assert!(env::set_current_dir(&root).is_ok());
    println!("Successfully changed working directory to {}!", root.display());
