pathname

¦ noun Computing a description of where an item is to be found in a hierarchy of directories.

pathname

<file system> (Or "path") The specification of a node (file or directory) in a hierarchical file system. The path is usually specified by listing the nodes top-down, separating the directories by the pathname separator ("/" in Unix, "" in MS-DOS). A pathname may be an absolute pathname or a {relative pathname}. The part of the pathname of a file after the last separator is called the basename. (1997-03-10)

Uniform Naming Convention

<networking> (UNC) Used in IBM PC networking to completely specify a directory on a file server. The basic format is: servernamesharename where "servername" is the hostname of a network file server, and "sharename" is the name of a networked or shared directory. Note this is not the same as the conventional MS-DOS "C:windows" directory name. E.g. server1dave might be set up to point to C:usershomedirsdave on a server called "server1". It is possible to execute a program using this convention without having to specifically link a drive, by running: serversharedirectoryprogram.exe The undocumented DOS command, TRUENAME can be used to find out the UNC name of a file or directory on a network drive.

Wikipedia

Path (computing)

A path is a string of characters used to uniquely identify a location in a directory structure. It is composed by following the directory tree hierarchy in which components, separated by a delimiting character, represent each directory. The delimiting character is most commonly the slash ("/"), the backslash character ("\"), or colon (":"), though some operating systems may use a different delimiter. Paths are used extensively in computer science to represent the directory/file relationships common in modern operating systems and are essential in the construction of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). Resources can be represented by either absolute or relative paths.
