The Linux Manuals (man pages) document is an important part of Linux documents. Linux Manuals are organized as several sections. Each section has a group of commands for a specific area in Linux usage, administration or development.
NAME path_resolution – how a pathname is resolved to a file DESCRIPTION Some UNIX/Linux system calls have as parameter one or more filenames. A filename (or pathname) is resolved as follows. Step 1: Start of the resolution process If the pathname starts with the ‘/’ character, the starting lookup directory is the root directory of…
