CD TILDE


Meaning of CD TILDE in English

transcription, транскрипция: [ /C-D til-d*/ vi. ]

To go home. From the Unix C-shell and Korn-shell command cd ~ , which takes one to one's $HOME ( cd with no arguments happens to do the same thing). By extension, may be used with other arguments; thus, over an electronic chat link, cd ~coffee would mean "I'm going to the coffee machine."
