Relative path is defined as path related to the present working directory(pwd).<br>
|
|
Suppose I am located in /home/user and I want to change directory to /home/user/Documents.<br>
|
|
I can use relative path concept to change directory to Documents.
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
pwd
|
|
/home/user
|
|
cd Documents
|
|
pwd
|
|
/home/user/Documents
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
If you observe, there is a little bit difference between absolute and relative paths:
|
|
in relative paths there is no "/" at the very beginning.<br>
|
|
Meanwhile in an absolute path you have to write "/", in this case it'd be "/home/user/Documents".
