C programming, need help

[pokerfanatic]

Hey everyone, I was tossed a program by one of my instructors to write a cd command in a mini shell he had written for our operating systems class, and the mini shell run on a linux server...

the method chdir(filename) will "change the directory" and return 0 if successful and -1 if the directory isn't found, in the C library however i need to be able to change the prompt of the line to show you are now in the new directory and i need to have the damn thing stay in that directory until i cd again out of it.

so if anyone can help that would be freaking great!

idk if that helps, but you can get the name of the currend directory with pwd or basename... if you're using shell commands. idk how all that works for you
