Directory Manipulation

pwd

Displays current working directory.

Technically, this is not a command, but simply displays the contents of the cwd variable.

cd dir

Changes the current working directory (cwd) to the directory dir. dir may be forms such as:

/

Root directory.

/foo/bar

Directory bar in directory foo in root directory.

~

Home Directory of current user (stored in user variable).

~/foo

Directory foo in current user's home directory.

~foo

Home Directory of user foo.

~foo/bar

Directory bar in user foo's home directory.

pushd foo/bar

Pushes directory foo/bar onto directory stack and changes to it.

pushd +2

Rotates directory stack by 2 directories.

pushd

Switches top two elements of directory stack.

popd

Pops directory from directory stack.

popd +2

Pops the 3rd directory from directory stack.

dirs

Displays directory stack. (All the pushd and popd statements do this already.)

dirs -l

Displays directory stack in long form (full pathnames).

History Functions

set history = 100

Tells the C shell to remember the last 100 command lines.

history

Displays the history list.

!!

Executes the last command (in the history list).

!23

Executes the 23rd command (in the history list).

!-5

Executes the 5th to last command in the history list. (This means that

!-1

is the same as

!!

).
