When the process refers to a file using a simple file name or relative path computing path as opposed to a file designated by a full path from a root directory , the reference is interpreted relative to the current working directory of the process. So for example a process with working directory tt rabbit hats tt that asks to create the file tt foo.txt tt will end up creating the file tt rabbit hats foo.txt tt .

In computing , a virtual directory or virtual directory server consists of software that offers a way to provide a consolidated view of user identities without having to construct an entire directory infrastructure. Implemented in the form of middleware, a virtual directory operates as a lightweight service that operates between applications and identity data repositories. A virtual directory receives queries and directs them to the appropriate data sources. When the user data comes back, the directory presents the data to the client application as if it all had been stored in one place all along. This ability to reach into native disparate repositories makes virtual directory technology ideal for consolidating data stored in a distributed environment. As of 2009 virtual directory servers most commonly use the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol LDAP protocol.
