Your home directory

When you first log in to the computer, the operating system places you in your home directory. Typically, this has a pathname like either of the following:

/usr/loginname
/u/loginname

Here, loginname is your login name.

The shorthand for your home directory is $HOME. You will see this referred to in the following sections.
