→Relative-to-home Pathnames
====Relative-to-home Pathnames====
You can specify a pathname as relative-to-home by using a tilde and slash at the start, e.g.,'''~/uli101/notes.html''' The tilde ~ is replaced by your home directory (typically /home/username) to make the pathname absolute. You can immediately place a username after the tilde torepresent another user’s home directory. For example:
~jane = /home/jane
