=== Directory Pathnames ===
A '''path''', the general form of the name of a file or directory, specifies a '''unique location''' in a file system. <br>
A path points to a file system location by '''following the directory tree hierarchy''' expressed in a string of characters in which path components, separated by a delimiting character, represent each directory. The '''delimiting character''' is most commonly the slash ("'''/'''").
