There is nothing magic about it, nor does it imply any additional
documentation. The syntax of "cd" is simply "cd" - change to home
directory or "cd dirpath" - change to dirpath. If you do "ls -a" i.e. list
all files in the current directory, you will see an entry for "." - the
current directory and an entry for ".." - the parent directory. So when
you do "cd .." you are telling the shell to change directory to the parent
directory - i.e. up one level.
