NAME
cd command - Change the current working folder.
MODULE
All tmsh modules.
SYNTAX
Use the command cd to change the current working folder.
cd [folder name]
cd /[folder name]
DESCRIPTION
The command cd [folder name] changes the current working folder to allow the user navigation around the folder
system (see sys folder). The command pwd displays the current working directory.
The current working folder may be listed in the tmos command prompt while in tmsh interactive mode (see cli
preference).
Folder names are separated by a forward slash /.
There are two built-in folders:
/ is the root folder
/Common is the default folder for creating new configurations objects.
Additionally, the following directory entries:
. is the current folder
.. is the parent folder
EXAMPLES
cd /Common
Change the current working folder to /Common.
cd resources
Change the current working folder to resources. In this example the resources folder is relative to the
current working folder. As an example, if the current working folder was /Common, the new working folder will
be /Common/resources.
cd resources/profiles/udp
Multiple folders may be specified. Tab complete assists filling the command line with folder names.
cd /
Make the current working folder the root folder.
cd ../Alpha
Change the working directory by first going to the parent, and then switch to the sub-folder Alpha.
