CBookmarkThe CBookmark program is a Bash shell script that adds features to the native Bash change directory command ("cd"). CBookmark adds fast, easy console directory access by using a history list, nicknames and bookmarked directories. The current version is 0.56 as of June 15, 2004. The change from 0.55 added the "cbn" (display bookmarks sorted by nickname) and "cbm" (display matches in the bookmark and history lists) commands. CBookmark offers the ability to remember directories it has visited, and to go directly back to those directories with just a few keystrokes. For example, if you have used cb to visit "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" by entering the command "cb /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts", you can later return to that directory by entering the command cb x font because CBookmark has matched the pattern "x.*font" with that directory in the history list. If, while you were visiting "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" the first time, you had used cbmark myfont to bookmark the directory with the nickname "myfont", you could later return to that directory by entering the command: cb myfont This version of CBookmark is the one I currently use -- there have been many other versions, some lean, some fat. This version includes only the features I use frequently. The original was written for the Korn shell almost two decades ago, and I have tried to keep it faithful to its Unix roots. You can:
