   directory specified in the path argument. path must be a valid directory.

   It is possible to specify a drive in the path argument, in which case the

   changed.

   #include <direct.h>
   #include <stdio.h>
   #include <stdlib.h>

   char *path = "\temp";
   int main()
   {
       int result;
       result = chdir(path);
       if (result != 0) {
           printf("Couldn't change directory\n");
           return EXIT_FAILURE;
       } else
           printf("Directory changed to %s\n",path);

       return EXIT_SUCCESS;
   }

Return Value
