Absolute path

With respect to absolute paths, simply the complete path starting with the root "/" directory, which is the end of the directory you want to go to, in the form of:

/usr/local/binA directory that represents a directory in the directory under the root directory usr local bin .

Relative path

Relative path, which is the path relative to your current directory, relative to the current directory. As the starting point, take the directory you want to the end, the manifestation of the form such as:

usr/local/bin(This assumes that the current directory is the root directory.) Indicates that the relative path does not actually include the one that represents the current directory, . but rather begins with the directory name, because this directory is a subdirectory usr of the / directory, which can be omitted, and if it is the . top level directory of the current directory, .. it is required For example, if your current directory is a home directory, the root directory should be represented as the ../../ top level directory (directory) of the previous level directory (home directory) / .
