Function: shell-dirtrack-mode

shell-dirtrack-mode is an interactive and byte-compiled function defined in shell.el.gz.

Signature

(shell-dirtrack-mode &optional ARG)

Documentation

Toggle directory tracking in this shell buffer (Shell Dirtrack mode).

This is a minor mode. If called interactively, toggle the Shell-Dirtrack mode mode. If the prefix argument is positive, enable the mode, and if it is zero or negative, disable the mode.

If called from Lisp, toggle the mode if ARG is toggle. Enable the mode if ARG is nil, omitted, or is a positive number. Disable the mode if ARG is a negative number.

To check whether the minor mode is enabled in the current buffer, evaluate shell-dirtrack-mode(var)/shell-dirtrack-mode(fun).

The mode's hook is called both when the mode is enabled and when it is disabled.

The dirtrack package provides an alternative implementation of this feature; see the function dirtrack-mode(var)/dirtrack-mode(fun).

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 22.2.
