Question

The command cd * will work.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me during a job interview.

I need to ask this question from Pattern Matching, Escaping and Quoting topic in chapter The Shell of Unix

Answer 1

Right option is (a) True

The explanation is: As we know that cd command is used for changing directories, the command cd * will work only when there is only one file in the current directory and that file should also be a directory. Otherwise, this command is invalid.
