CHDIR
takes one argument, a directory to change to. This
command is implemented to simplify the working with includefile
(see
includefile
in yodlmacros(7)
).
As a demonstration by example, consider the
following fragment:
includefile(subdir/onefile) includefile(subdir/anotherfile) includefile(subdir/yetanotherfile)
This fragment can be changed to:
CHDIR(subdir) includefile(onefile) includefile(anotherfile) includefile(yetanotherfile) CHDIR(..)
The current directory, as given to CHDIR
, only affects how includefile
will search for its files.
