From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   pathname
  
      (Or "path") The specification of a node (file or
      directory) in a {hierarchical file system}.   The path is
      usually specified by listing the nodes top-down, separating
      the directories by the {pathname separator} ("/" in {Unix},
      "\" in {MS-DOS}).
  
      A pathname may be an {absolute pathname} or a {relative
      pathname}.   The part of the pathname of a file after the last
      separator is called the {basename}.
  
      (1997-03-10)
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   pathname separator
  
      The character used to separate elements of a
      {path} or {pathname}.   Under {Unix} and {POSIX.1} compliant
      systems the pathname separator is the (forward) {slash}, in
      {MS-DOS} {backslash} serves the same purpose.   For obvious
      reasons the no directory or file name can contain this
      character.
