mantaSetwd: Sets current working directory on Manta.

In joyent/mantaRSDK: Joyent Manta Storage Service R Software Development Kit

Description

This sets the current working directory in Manta. Supports ~~ expansion to $MANTA_USER setting, i.e. for my account ~~/stor expands to /cwvhogue/stor. There are 4 top level Manta subdirectories:
~~/stor Your private storage.
~~/public Your public storage.
~~/jobs Your job archive.
~~/reports Your account report information.
Specify the full path (absolute) or start from current working directory (relative). All mantaRSDK functions assume unprefixed filenames are in the current working directory on Manta. To move UP one directory at a time use ".." but note that "../.." forms are NOT supported as there are no parent directory ".." object links on Manta. Returns FALSE if directory specified incorrectory or if the directory does not exist. The current working directory is stored internally in mantaRSDK on your local system and is not saved. between sessions. It initializes to the root directory of private Manta storage: ~~/stor.
