dris – Display and Clear the Contents of the Directory Stack

The dris command is a shell built-in command in Linux that is used to display and clear the contents of the directory stack. The directory stack is a list of directories that have been visited by the user in the current shell session. The dris command is mostly used in combination with the pushd, popd, and dirs commands, which are used to manipulate the directory stack.

Overview

The dris command is used to display the contents of the directory stack. When executed without any options or arguments, dris will display the entire directory stack, with the most recent directory at the top. Each directory in the stack is displayed with its index number, which can be used to reference the directory in other commands.

$ dris
0  /home/user/Documents
1  /usr/share
2  /etc

The dris command can also be used to clear the directory stack. When executed with the -c option, dris will clear the entire directory stack.

$ dris -c
$ dris
$

Troubleshooting tips

If you receive an error message such as “dris: command not found”, it may be because the dris command is not available on your system. The dris command is a shell built-in command, which means that it is built into the shell itself and not a separate executable file. If you are using a non-standard shell, such as fish, the dris command may not be available.

Notes

The dris command is most commonly used in combination with the pushd, popd, and dirs commands, which are used to manipulate the directory stack. The pushd command is used to add a directory to the stack, the popd command is used to remove a directory from the stack, and the dirs command is used to display the contents of the directory stack without clearing it.
