Pathname




<file system> (Or "path") The specification of a node (file or directory) in a hierarchical file system.

The path is usually specified by listing the nodes top-down, separating the directories by the pathname separator ("/" in Unix, "\" in MS-DOS).

A pathname may be an absolute pathname or a relative pathname.

The part of the pathname of a file after the last separator is called the basename.
