Under both <tt>tcsh</tt> and <tt>bash</tt>,<A NAME=tex2html387 HREF="footnode.html#2139"><IMG ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="gif" SRC="foot_motif.gif"></A>
|
|
your home directory can be referred
|
|
to using the tilde character (``<tt>~</tt>''). For example, the command
|
|
<P><TT> /home/larry# <em>more ~/papers/history-final</em>
|
|
<P></TT>
|
|
is equivalent to
|
|
<P><TT> /home/larry# <em>more /home/larry/papers/history-final</em>
|
|
<P></TT>
|
|
The ``<tt>~</tt>'' character is simply replaced with the name of your
|
|
home directory by the shell.
|
|
<P>
|
|
In addition, you can specify other user's home directories with the
|
|
tilde as well. The pathname ``<tt>~karl/letters</tt>'' translates to
|
|
``<tt>/home/karl/letters</tt>'' by the shell (if <tt>/home/karl</tt> is
|
|
karl's home directory). The use of the tilde is simply a shortcut;
|
|
there is no directory named ``<tt>~</tt>''---it's just syntactic sugar
|
|
provided by the shell.
