ITPEC FE Morning October 2019 — Question 19 of 80

Absolute path name — the path from the root directory to the target file.

An absolute path starts from the root directory (/ on Unix, drive letter on Windows) and specifies the complete location of a file.

Example: /home/user/docs/file.txt

Why not others:
- (a) — describes a relative path (from the current directory)

- (b) — describes a path from the home directory, not the root

- (d) — "shortest path from a certain directory" is not a standard file system concept

Key rule: Absolute path = starts from root (/). Relative path = starts from current directory.
