Zig 0.17.0-dev (Split by item)

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 library itself.

setCurrentPath

Changes the current working directory to the given path. Corresponds to "chdir" 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.

process.setCurrentPath

pub fn setCurrentPath(io: Io, path: []const u8) !void

File

lib/std/process.zig:937

Code

pub fn setCurrentPath(io: Io, path: []const u8) !void {
    return io.vtable.processSetCurrentPath(io.userdata, path);
}
