They implement a directory stack.
Basically, this means that if you are in some wierd place, such as
/tmp/wow/how/are/you/i/am/fine :) then you can get back to where
you were by using pushd instead of a plain cd. Then a popd will get you
back to where you started from.
like:
# pushd /path/to/tortuous/directory/here
# do some stuff in here
# popd back to where we started from.
These can be nested, of course.
They can be very useful sometimes, too. :)
