prevd - move backward through directory history
===============================================
Synopsis
--------
.. 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 :envvar:`dirprev` and :envvar:`dirnext` variables which this command manipulates.
The **-h** or **--help** option displays help about using this command.
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

- the :doc:`dirh <dirh>` command to print the directory history
