ChDir(Dir)
ChDir: INTEGER(KIND=1) function.
Dir: CHARACTER; scalar; INTENT(IN).
Intrinsic groups: badu77.
Description:
Sets the current working directory to be Dir.
Returns 0 on success or a nonzero error code.
See chdir(3).
Caution: Using this routine during I/O to a unit connected with a non-absolute file name can cause subsequent I/O on such a unit to fail because the I/O library might reopen files by name.
Due to the side effects performed by this intrinsic, the function form is not recommended.
