method Process.chdir

Usage in Deno

```typescript import { type Process } from "node:node__process.d.ts"; ```
Process.chdir(directory: string): void
The `process.chdir()` method changes the current working directory of the Node.js process or throws an exception if doing so fails (for instance, if the specified `directory` does not exist). ```js import { chdir, cwd } from 'node:process'; console.log(`Starting directory: ${cwd()}`); try { chdir('/tmp'); console.log(`New directory: ${cwd()}`); } catch (err) { console.error(`chdir: ${err}`); } ``` This feature is not available in `Worker` threads.
