NAME

    pushd - Add directories to stack.

SYNOPSIS

    pushd [-n] [+N | -N | dir]

DESCRIPTION

    Add directories to stack.

    Adds a directory to the top of the directory stack, or rotates

    the stack, making the new top of the stack the current working

    directory.  With no arguments, exchanges the top two directories.

    Options:

      -n        Suppresses the normal change of directory when adding

        directories to the stack, so only the stack is manipulated.

    Arguments:

      +N        Rotates the stack so that the Nth directory (counting

        from the left of the list shown by `dirs', starting with

        zero) is at the top.

      -N        Rotates the stack so that the Nth directory (counting

        from the right of the list shown by `dirs', starting with

        zero) is at the top.

      dir       Adds DIR to the directory stack at the top, making it the

        new current working directory.

    The `dirs' builtin displays the directory stack.

    Exit Status:

    Returns success unless an invalid argument is supplied or the directory

    change fails.
