prevd - move backward through directory history
==========================================
Synopsis
--------
prevd [ -l | --list ] [POS]
Description
------------
``prevd`` moves backwards ``POS`` positions in the history of visited directories; if the beginning of the history has been hit, a warning is printed.
If the ``-l`` or ``--list`` flag is specified, the current history is also displayed.
Note that the ``cd`` command limits directory history to the 25 most recently visited directories. The history is stored in the ``$dirprev`` and ``$dirnext`` variables which this command manipulates.
You may be interested in the <a href="commands.html#cdh">``cdh``</a> command which provides a more intuitive way to navigate to recently visited directories.
Example
------------
::
cd /usr/src
# Working directory is now /usr/src
cd /usr/src/fish-shell
# Working directory is now /usr/src/fish-shell
prevd
# Working directory is now /usr/src
nextd
# Working directory is now /usr/src/fish-shell
