dris

Additional Notes

dris is an alternative name for the dirs command in some shells. It displays the directory stack. On most systems, dirs is the standard name. If dris is unavailable, use dirs to inspect the directory stack used by pushd and popd.

Syntax

dris [options]
dirs [options]

Parameters

• options: Directory-stack display options when supported.
• index: Stack position to display when the shell supports indexed directory-stack output.

Common Options

• +N: Show the Nth entry counting from the left.
• -N: Show the Nth entry counting from the right.
• -l: Show full directory paths instead of abbreviated paths.

Examples

dirs

Show the current directory stack.

dirs -l

Show full paths in the directory stack.

pushd /etc
pushd /var/log
dirs
popd

Build and inspect a directory stack using standard shell builtins.

Practical Notes

• Try type dris or command -v dris to check whether your shell provides it.
• In Bash, Zsh, and many other shells, dirs is the standard directory-stack command.
• Directory stacks are usually changed with pushd and popd.
• If you arrived here from an upstream command list, check dirs for the common spelling.
