Next: Screen Command, Up: New Window [Contents][Index]
(none)
Change the current directory of screen to the specified directory
or, if called without an argument, to your home directory (the value of
the environment variable $HOME). All windows that are created by means
of the screen command from within .screenrc or by means of
C-a : screen … or C-a c use this as their default
directory. Without a chdir command, this would be the directory
from which screen was invoked. Hardcopy and log files are always
written to the window’s default directory, not the current
directory of the process running in the window. You can use this
command multiple times in your .screenrc to start various windows
in different default directories, but the last chdir value will
affect all the windows you create interactively.
