bash: Directory Stack Builtins
6.8.1 Directory Stack Builtins
------------------------------
'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. The current directory is always
the first directory in the stack.
'-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]
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 and makes the new top the current directory.
'-n'
Suppresses the normal change of directory when rotating or
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 DIR 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.
