→Absolute Pathnames
====Absolute Pathnames====
An absolute pathname is a path to the file or directory always beginning from the root directory.<br>The root directory is at the top of the file system and is denoted by the forward slash symbol: /
This type of pathname is referred to as '''absolute''' because the pathname always begins from the root directory,<br>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.
