pushd [ -qsLP ] [ arg ]
pushd [ -qsLP ] old new
pushd [ -qsLP ] {+|-}n
       Change the current directory, and push the old current directory
       onto the directory stack.  In the first form, change the current
       directory to arg.  If arg is not specified, change to the second
       directory  on the stack (that is, exchange the top two entries),
       or change to $HOME if the PUSHD_TO_HOME  option  is  set  or  if
       there  is only one entry on the stack.  Otherwise, arg is inter-
       preted as it would be by cd.  The meaning of old and new in  the
       second form is also the same as for cd.

       The third form of pushd changes directory by rotating the direc-
       tory list.  An argument of the form `+n' identifies a stack  en-
       try by counting from the left of the list shown by the dirs com-
       mand, starting with zero.  An argument of the form  `-n'  counts
       from  the right.  If the PUSHD_MINUS option is set, the meanings
       of `+' and `-' in this context are swapped.

       If the -q (quiet) option is specified, the hook  function  chpwd
       and  the functions in the array $chpwd_functions are not called,
       and the new directory stack is not printed.  This is useful  for
       calls to pushd that do not change the environment seen by an in-
       teractive user.

       If  the  option  -q  is  not  specified  and  the  shell  option
       PUSHD_SILENT is not set, the directory stack will be printed af-
       ter a pushd is performed.

       The options -s, -L and -P have the same meanings as for  the  cd
       builtin.
