# hvol(1)

display or change the current HFS volume

## NAME

hvol - display or change the current HFS volume

## SYNOPSIS

hvol \[*volume-or-path*\]

## DESCRIPTION

With no arguments, **hvol** displays the name and path to the "current" HFS volume as well as the names and paths of all previously mounted ("known") volumes.

With an argument, **hvol** changes the current volume to be the one specified. Either the name of the volume or the path to its UNIX source can be specified. The volume must have been previously mounted using **hmount**.

A separate "current working directory" is maintained for each mounted volume. This information is kept in a file named *.hcwd* in the user's home directory.

## SEE ALSO

[hfsutils(1)](/hfsutils/1.md), [hmount(1)](/hmount/1.md), [humount(1)](/humount/1.md)

## FILES
