NAME

bookmark - manage shell-level bookmarks

SYNOPSIS

    bm [bookmarkname]
    go [bookmarkname]

DESCRIPTION

This suite of utilities manages shell-level bookmarks.

bm [bookmark_name]: set a bookmark
go [bookmark_name]: go to a preset bookmark

Bookmarks are preserved across login sessions and across windows. One unnamed bookmark is permitted at any time.
