System.ChDir Function

ChDir(const char * P);

System

Note: ChDir changes the current directory to the path specified by S or P. If this operation fails, EInOutError is raised.

Note: On Windows, the path can include a drive specifier, which causes the current drive to be changed as well.

Note: In Delphi, {$I+} handles runtime errors using exceptions. When using {$I-}, use IOResult to check for an I/O error.
