From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   path n.   1. A {bang path} or explicitly routed {{Internet
   address}}; a node-by-node specification of a link between two
   machines.   Though these are now obsolete as a form of addressing,
   they still show up in diagnostics and trace headers ocvcasionally
   (e.g. in NNTP headers).   2. [Unix] A filename, fully specified
   relative to the root directory (as opposed to relative to the
   current directory; the latter is sometimes called a `relative
   path').   This is also called a `pathname'.   3. [Unix and MS-DOS] The
   `search path', an environment variable specifying the directories in
   which the {shell} (COMMAND.COM, under MS-DOS) should look for
   commands.   Other, similar constructs abound under Unix (for example,
   the C preprocessor has a `search path' it uses in looking for
   `#include' files).
