ICD(1)

💅 ICD(1) — User Commands manual, bestie ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

icd — an iRODS iCommand. That's the whole name section, and we're folding the ICD(1) / User Commands manual-name situation in right here at the top, iykyk. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

icd [-vVh] [COLLECTION]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so icd changes the current working collection. Main character energy, honestly. 💅

If it's invoked without any arguments, the current working collection is set back to your home collection as defined in your irods_environment.json file. Home sweet home, no cap. 🏠

If COLLECTION matches .., the current working collection is set to the parent collection. Yes, literally the .. you know. 🫶

If COLLECTION begins with a forward slash, the path is treated as an absolute path. Slash-first means absolute, periodt. ⭐

Upon success, the current working collection is stored in irods_environment.json.PID where PID matches the shell's PID number. This allows multiple terminal sessions to exist within the same environment. Multi-session realness. 😭

If the inclusion of the PID isn't sufficient, this behavior can be overridden by setting the environment variable, IRODS_ENVIRONMENT_FILE, to the absolute path of a file that will serve as the new session file. This may require re-running iinit. Setting the environment variable causes icd to replace the ".PID" extension with ".cwd". Big override energy — keep that in mind, bestie. 💀

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• -v — Verbose. Say more, please. 🗣️
• -V — Very verbose. Maximum yapping enabled. 🔥
• -h — Show this message. The classic help flag, iconic. 🫶

Also, the page carries the little tag iRODS Version 5.0.2 alongside icd — noted and preserved, because we don't drop details around here. 🎀

This page is from icd, source/version iRODS-5.0.2, dated January 1980 — a cute little manual time capsule, bye bestie! 💖✨
