NAME
autojump – a faster way to navigate your filesystem

SYNOPSIS

j dirspec

jstat

DESCRIPTION

autojump is a faster way to navigate your filesystem. It works by maintaining a database of the directories you use the
most from the command line. The jstat command shows you the current contents of the database. You need to work a little
bit before the database becomes useable. Once your database is reasonably complete, you can “jump” to a directory by
typing:

j dirspec

where dirspec is a few characters of the directory you want to jump to. It will jump to the most used directory whose
name matches the pattern given in dirspec.

EXAMPLES

j mp3

could jump to /home/gwb/my mp3 collection, if that is the directory in which you keep your mp3s.

BUGS

No known bugs at this time.
