=== Directory Pathnames ===
<i>A '''pathname''' is used to specify a '''route to a file ''' within the file system.<br>
A pathname 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 ("'''/'''").</i>
