file path

A path that describes a location in a file system structure. Use as 2 words. Don't use "filepath". When writing out file paths, use a forward slash ( / ) for *nix and a backslash ( \ ) for Windows. List both the *nix and Windows file paths, in that order.

Use angle brackets to indicate parts of a file path that differ by user or operating system, such as /home/<username>/.login.
