You can specify a pathname as relative-to-home by using a �tilde tilde and possibly a slash at the beginning of the pathname�pathnameThe tilde character ~' is replaced by your home directory (typically /home/current-user-id)You can immediately place a username after the tilde to represent another user’s home directory (for example: ~jane = /home/jane)
