This type of pathname is referred to as '''absolute''' because the pathname always begins from the root directory, '''regardless the location or your current directory'''. In other words, this type of pathname requires that you always provide the '''FULL''' pathname starting with the root directory.

For example:<br>'''mkdir /home/userid/uli101''' will create the '''uli101''' directory in the home directory of the user called: userid. This command is using an absolute pathname.
