.. _cmd-prevd:
prevd - move backward through directory history
===============================================
Synopsis
--------
``prevd`` [ **-l** | **--list** ] [*POS*]
Description
-----------
``prevd`` moves backwards ``POS`` positions in the :ref:`history of visited directories <directory-history>`; 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.
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
