__NOTOC__
This function changes the current directory pointer of the translator. All operations on the FileSystem translator are executed relative to the current directory. The translator, if possible, is asked to prevent deletion of the current directory.

==Syntax==
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
bool translator.chdir ( string dirPath )
</syntaxhighlight>

==Arguments==
*'''dirPath:''' a path to a directory that should be made current directory

==Returns==
This function returns '''true''' if the directory pointed at by dirPath is an existing directory and can be accessed by the translator, '''false''' otherwise.

==Example==
<section name="Client" class="client" show="true">
This snippet creates a simple command-based filesystem explorer.
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
-- Create a generic FileSystem translator.
local cmdTranslator = fileCreateTranslator( "/" );

-- Set up some commands.
addCommandHandler( "chdir",
function(...)
local myPath = table.concat( { ... }, " " );

cmdTranslator.chdir( myPath );
end
);

addCommandHandler( "dir",
function()
-- todo: resolve a path given as arguments.

local myEntries = {};

local function itemIterator( path )
table.insert( myEntries, cmdTranslator.relPath( path ) );
end

cmdTranslator.scanDirEx( "/", "*", itemIterator, itemIterator, false );

-- Output the filesystem entries to the chatbox.
for m,n in ipairs( myEntries ) do
outputChatBox( n );
end

-- todo: print statistics (file size, number of files, number of directories, ...)
end
);
