The `posix-cd` program

-posix-cd changes the current working directory to a -given directory, then executes a program. -

-posix-cd changes the current working directory to dir -according to the -POSIX -specification for a cd external utility. Then, if prog... is -not empty, it execs into it. -

Notes

- -

When execline has been configured -with the --enable-pedantic-posix option, the cd -command is a symbolic link to it. So scripts calling cd -will use posix-cd. When this configuration option has not -been given, cd is a symbolic link to -execline-cd.
posix-cd fully conforms to the -POSIX -specification. When prog... is not empty, the behaviour of a -cd utility is not specified by POSIX, so posix-cd extends -the spec to be actually useful and usable in an execline program with the same -interface as the regular execline cd command.
Nobody ever executes or needs the external version (i.e. not a shell -builtin) of the POSIX cd command. Compared to execline's regular cd -binary, execline-cd, posix-cd is -uselessly bloated and slow. The only reason it exists is that some -distributions refuse to package execline correctly unless it is strictly -POSIX-compliant; the --enable-pedantic-posix configure option is -there to satisfy their requirements.
