ITPEC FE Morning October 2019 Question 19
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.
