Get or Set Current Working Directory in iRODS

ipwd() and icd() are the iRODS equivalents of getwd() and setwd() respectively. For example, whereas getwd() returns the current working directory in the local system, ipwd() returns the current working directory in iRODS.

Usage

icd(dir)

ipwd()

Arguments

dir

Collection to set as working directory.

Value

Invisibly the current directory before the change (same convention as setwd()).

is_irods_demo_running()

# }

# go back on level lower
icd("..")
ipwd()

icd("/tempZone/home/rods")
ipwd()
