Up: The Directory Stack [Contents][Index]
dirs
dirs [-clpv] [+N | -N]
Display the list of currently remembered directories. Directories
are added to the list with the pushd
command; the
popd
command removes directories from the list.
-c
Clears the directory stack by deleting all of the elements.
-l
Produces a listing using full pathnames; the default listing format uses a tilde to denote the home directory.
-p
Causes dirs
to print the directory stack with one entry per
line.
-v
Causes dirs
to print the directory stack with one entry per
line, prefixing each entry with its index in the stack.
+N
Displays the Nth directory (counting from the left of the
list printed by dirs
when invoked without options), starting
with zero.
-N
Displays the Nth directory (counting from the right of the
list printed by dirs
when invoked without options), starting
with zero.
popd
popd [-n] [+N | -N]
Remove the top entry from the directory stack, and cd
to the new top directory.
When no arguments are given, popd
removes the top directory from the stack and
performs a cd
to the new top directory. The
elements are numbered from 0 starting at the first directory listed with
dirs
; that is, popd
is equivalent to popd +0
.
-n
Suppresses the normal change of directory when removing directories from the stack, so that only the stack is manipulated.
+N
Removes the Nth directory (counting from the left of the
list printed by dirs
), starting with zero.
-N
Removes the Nth directory (counting from the right of the
list printed by dirs
), starting with zero.
pushd
pushd [-n] [+N | -N | dir]
Save the current directory on the top of the directory stack
and then cd
to dir.
With no arguments, pushd
exchanges the top two directories.
-n
Suppresses the normal change of directory when adding directories to the stack, so that only the stack is manipulated.
+N
Brings the Nth directory (counting from the left of the
list printed by dirs
, starting with zero) to the top of
the list by rotating the stack.
-N
Brings the Nth directory (counting from the right of the
list printed by dirs
, starting with zero) to the top of
the list by rotating the stack.
dir
Makes the current working directory be the top of the stack, making
it the new current directory as if it had been supplied as an argument
to the cd
builtin.
