CentOS Linux Files and Directories

CentOS Linux Path

Path refers to the way/where which files and folders are stored. The are 2 kinds of path

Absolute Path

-specify entire the path/location of the file in detail.

As you can see from example below, we are specifying the entire path of the file location.

cat /demo/myDir/a.txt testing 1 2 3

Relative Path

- only specify the location of the current directory

As you can see the example below, since we are /demo directory, we only need to specify the file path myDire/a.txt (which myDir is in /demo directory)

Another example below we show the content of filename:network by using ../etc/sysconfig/network.

 

pwd /demo cat myDir/a.txt testing 1 2 3 cat ../etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=no HOSTNAME=srv1.example.local
