· Directory Stack Builtins            Bash builtin commands to manipulate
1 					the directory stack.
1 
1 The directory stack is a list of recently-visited directories.  The
1 'pushd' builtin adds directories to the stack as it changes the current
1 directory, and the 'popd' builtin removes specified directories from the
1 stack and changes the current directory to the directory removed.  The
1 'dirs' builtin displays the contents of the directory stack.  The
1 current directory is always the "top" of the directory stack.
1 
1    The contents of the directory stack are also visible as the value of
1 the 'DIRSTACK' shell variable.
