Command: pushd
PUSHD pushes current directory onto the directory stack,
with the option to change current working directory.
Syntax:
PUSHD [[drive]path] [/?]
[[drive]path) is a path to which you wish to change.
Options:
/? Shows the help.
Comments:
PUSHD is a lot like CD, except that it stores the current directory
before changing it. Later on, POPD can be used to restore it.
PUSHD can be used several times, storing a stack of directories.
Using PUSHD without specifying a directory will store the current
directory, but not change it.
PUSHD is a command internal to command.com and needs no other file
in order to work.
Examples:
this command changes the current directory to / shows:
============ =========================================
cd c:\fdos\bin c:\fdos\bin
pushd c:\games c:\games (and stores c:\fdos\bin)
pushd c:\utils c:\utils (and stores c:\games)
pushd c:\packages c:\packages (and stores c:\utils
dirs shows the directories stored by pushd:
0001=c:\fdos\bin
0002=c:\games
0003=c:\utils
popd c:\utils (and removes c:\utils (0003)
from directory stack)
popd c:\games (and removes c:\games (0002)
from directory stack)
popd c:\fdos\bin (and removes c:\fdos\bin (0001)
from directory stack)
popd shows the message:
"Directory stack empty"
