Typing @kbd{C-x C-j} (@code{dired-jump}) in any buffer will open a
Dired buffer and move point to the line corresponding to the current
file. In Dired, move up a level and go to the previous directory's
line. Typing @kbd{C-x 4 C-j} (@code{dired-jump-other-window} has the
same effect but opens a new window for the Dired buffer.
You can ask Emacs to invoke Dired on the default-directory
(@pxref{File Names, default-directory}) of any buffer, by typing
@kbd{C-x C-j} (@code{dired-jump}). If the buffer visits a file, this
command will move point to that file's line in the Dired buffer it
shows; otherwise, point will end up on the first file in the directory
listing. As an exception, if you type @kbd{C-x C-j} in a Dired
buffer, Emacs displays the directory listing of the parent directory
and places point on the line that corresponds to the directory where
you invoked @code{dired-jump}. Typing @kbd{C-x 4 C-j}
(@code{dired-jump-other-window} has the same effect, but displays the
Dired buffer in a new window.
The variable @code{dired-listing-switches} specifies the options to
give to @command{ls} for listing the directory; this string
