- DIRS [DUAL MODE]
-
- NAME DIRS - Show the contents of the drive and directory
- stack.
-
- SYNTAX
-
- dirs [-q|/q]
-
- USAGE
-
- With pushd you can push the current drive and directory
- onto directory stack. You can then move freely between
- directories. Popd will restore the top drive and
- directory from the stack. With the dirs command you can
- see what entries are in the stack. The stack will always
- contain the entry "." - that is the current directory as
- the last element. Each session has separate stack. You
- can only retrieve drive and directroy combinations, which
- have been pushed in this session.
-
- All three commands use a server to maintain the stack.
- This server is dirserv.exe. You can start it manually in
- a separate session or detach it, so that it belongs to no
- screen group. Nevertheless all three commands start
- dirserv automatically, if it has not been started
- previously. You can use the -Q (or /Q) option to stop the
- directory stack server. This is needed especially if the
- server is detached. Under DOS the drive and directory
- information is stored in a file. The default for this
- file is c:\dirserv.dat. You can change it however with
- the DIRSERV-enviroment variable.
