+.SH NAME
+Tcl_GetCwd, Tcl_Chdir \- manipulate the current working directory
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+\fB#include <tcl.h>\fR
+.sp
+char *
+\fBTcl_GetCwd\fR(\fIinterp\fR, \fIbufferPtr\fR)
+.sp
+int
+\fBTcl_Chdir\fR(\fIpath\fR)
+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.AS Tcl_DString *bufferPtr
+.AP Tcl_Interp *interp in
+Interpreter in which to report an error, if any.
+.AP Tcl_DString *bufferPtr in/out
+This dynamic string is used to store the current working directory.
+At the time of the call it should be uninitialized or free. The
+caller must eventually call \fBTcl_DStringFree\fR to free up
+anything stored here.
+.AP char *path in
+File path in UTF\-8 format.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These procedures may be used to manipulate the current working
+directory for the application. They provide C\-level access to
+the same functionality as the Tcl \fBpwd\fR command.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetCwd\fR returns a pointer to a string specifying the current
+directory, or NULL if the current directory could not be determined.
+If NULL is returned, an error message is left in the interp's result.
+Storage for the result string is allocated in bufferPtr; the caller
+must call \fBTcl_DStringFree()\fR when the result is no longer needed.
+The format of the path is UTF\-8.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_Chdir\fR changes the applications current working directory to
+the value specified in \fIpath\fR. The format of the passed in string
+must be UTF\-8. The function returns -1 on error or 0 on success.
