DIRSERV [OS/2 ONLY]
NAME DIRSERV - Drive and directory stack server.
SYNTAX
dirserv
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.
