Syntax:

Consider the below example demonstrating how to change the working directory using syscall in Golang?

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"syscall"
)

func main() {
	// Getting the current working directory
	CurrentWD, _ := syscall.Getwd()
	fmt.Println("CurrentWD:", CurrentWD)

	// Changing the working directory
	syscall.Chdir("/home/IncludeHelp/GoLang")

	// Again,
	// getting the current working directory
	CurrentWD, _ = syscall.Getwd()
	fmt.Println("CurrentWD:", CurrentWD)
}

Output

CurrentWD: /home
CurrentWD: /home/IncludeHelp/GoLang
