Anything related to pathnames. A pathname is a symbolic, hierarchical representation of the location of a file (or other resource) in a filesystem encoded as a string. The rules governing the syntax of pathnames differ among OSes (and sometimes among filesystems). Here is an example for Linux: "/home/user/foo/bar/hello.pdf" and one for Windows: "D:\data\foo\bar\hello.pdf"
