This is the full, exact name of a file or directory on a disk It includes the drive letter, a colon, a directory name, and a filename Being EXACTING is the key to locating any file on a system
The pathname shows the directories and subdirectories above a file or directory For example, this file is in the pathname /html/about/provider/policies/
A file name, or the object that describes it The "path" part refers to the series of directory names that form a path from the file system root in a fully-specified file name See Chapter 19 of the Common Lisp HyperSpec for more on Lisp pathnames
indicates the location of a particular file or directory by outlining the route or "path" from the host name (if the file resides on a remote server) through the directory structure to the desired file name or directory name; Each that defines a path is separated by a slash
A string of characters describing how to find a file on a Unix system, including a description of the directory where it is found, and the name of the file See how to organize large collections of files
The path to a file or directory location on a disk Pathnames are always specific to the computer operating system Computer operating systems use directories and files to organize data Directories are organized in a tree structure; each branch on the tree represents a subdirectory or file Pathnames indicate locations in this hierarchy
Instructions for accessing a file An absolute pathname tells you how to find a file beginning at the root directory and working down the directory tree A relative pathname tells you how to find the file starting where you are now
A full pathname includes the drive, root and any subdirectory names Each name is separated by a backslash (\) For example, C: \WP51 refers to the WP51 Directory on the C Drive C: \WP51\TEST refers to the TEST subdirectory (or file) on the WP51 directory, on the C Drive
Instructions for how to get to a file An absolute pathname tells you how to find a file beginning at the root directory and working down the tree A relative pathname tells you how to find the file starting where you are now

a file name given as the sequence of directories that lead to the file A pathname can be either a full pathname or a relative pathname Select the item UNIX File System from the Concepts menu for a more detailed explanation
A pathname indicates the location of a particular file or directory by outlining the route or "path" from the host name (if the file resides on a remote server) through the directory structure to the desired file name or directory name Each name in the series of names that define a path is separated by a slash If the file is located in the current working directory on your computer, it is referred to only by its filename Pathnames can be absolute or relative An absolute pathname provides the full path (address) of a file, including the computer system, directories, and subdirectories (if any) it resides in Relative pathnames are used to describe a file or directory location on the user's system relative to the user's current location on the system (i e , based on which level of the directory structure the user is in)
