Documentation

Resync the buffer's idea of the current directory stack.

This command queries the shell with the command bound to shell-dirstack-query (default "dirs"), reads the next line output and parses it to form the new directory stack. DON'T issue this command unless the buffer is at a shell prompt. Also, note that if some other subprocess decides to do output immediately after the query, its output will be taken as the new directory stack -- you lose. If this happens, just do the command again.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 19.20.
