This is an example of documentation generated by ZigDoc, an alternative to Zig's built-in Auto Doc feature. See also examples in other modes/formats. The project being documented here (as the example) is the Zig standard library. Public Function

setCurrentDir

Public Function
std.process.setCurrentDir
pub fn setCurrentDir(io: Io, dir: Io.Dir) !void

Changes the current working directory to the open directory handle. Corresponds to "fchdir" in libc.

This modifies global process state and can have surprising effects in multithreaded applications. Most applications and especially libraries should not call this function as a general rule, however it can have use cases in, for example, implementing a shell, or child process execution.

Calling this function makes code less portable and less reusable.
