- absolute paths begin with '/' (called root, akin to C:
) - relative paths don't have a starting '/' and are resolved relative to your current directory
- '.' is a special directory name for the current directory
- '..' is a special directory name for the parent directory
- spaces need to be escaped by backslash or the whole path wrapped in quotes, otherwise the path is interpreted as separate arguments delimited by the spaces
- tab will autocomplete directory or file names up to the first conflict
