(18) Pathname Examples

Pathname Examples

Path name components are separated by "/". A path name can be relative or absolute. Relative path names start from the directory you are in and absolute path names start from "/".
./ = the current directory.
../ = the parent directory.
Note that "." and ".." are real directories which reside inside of every directory on a Unix filesystem.
Examples

../people2/Mary is a relative path.
projects/dataset1 is a relative path.
/people2/Mary is an absolute path.
