How to change the current working directory of a process using syscall in Golang?

In Golang, you can change the current working directory of a process using the syscall package and the Chdir function.

Here's an example of how you can change the current working directory:

package main import ( "fmt" "os" "syscall" ) func main() { // Get the current working directory cwd, err := os.Getwd() if err != nil { fmt.Println("Failed to get current working directory:", err) return } fmt.Println("Current working directory:", cwd) // Change the current working directory err = syscall.Chdir("/path/to/new/directory") if err != nil { fmt.Println("Failed to change current working directory:", err) return } // Get the updated current working directory newCwd, err := os.Getwd() if err != nil { fmt.Println("Failed to get current working directory:", err) return } fmt.Println("New current working directory:", newCwd) }

In this example, we first get the current working directory using os.Getwd. Then, we use syscall.Chdir to change the current working directory to the desired path. Finally, we check the updated current working directory using os.Getwd again.

Keep in mind that changing the current working directory affects the entire process, so any relative paths used in subsequent operations will be resolved relative to the new current working directory.
