→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.
