preceding path, and <span class="RktInBG"><span class="hspace"></span><span class="RktIn">..</span><span class="hspace"></span></span> as a path element always means the
parent of the directory indicated by the preceding path. A leading
<span class="RktInBG"><span class="hspace"></span><span class="RktIn">~</span><span class="hspace"></span></span> in a path is not treated specially, but

special meaning within a path. Multiple adjacent <span class="RktInBG"><span class="hspace"></span><span class="RktIn">/</span><span class="hspace"></span></span> are

an absolute, complete path, and a path starting with any other
character is a relative path.</p><p>Any pathname that ends with a <span class="RktInBG"><span class="hspace"></span><span class="RktIn">/</span><span class="hspace"></span></span> syntactically refers to a
