Figure 16.2: Absolute pathnames state out the full path

Now you’ve successfully changed directories and moved from your login directory into the subdi-

rectory called home.

The difference, of course, was adding the forward slash.

Let’s take a second to look at the reason adding a slash made all the difference.

When you saw you were in /home/billy, you were looking at the full path – or the absolute path

from the root directory. You can think of the billy directory as being located two directories “down”

from the root, which is the topmost level of your system.

So when you typed:

cd /home

you were actually saying “go to the root directory, then go to the directory called home, which is

one directory below the root.” You speciﬁed an absolute path to get to the home directory (see, for

example, Figure 16.2).

Now, if you type:

cd /

you’ll end up with a prompt that looks like:

1 2 ... 227 228 229 230 231 232 233 234 235 236 237 ... 299 300
