→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 <br>the '''FULL''' pathname starting with the root directory.
