Parent directory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, the parent directory of a given directory A is the directory B in which A is located. In A's absolute path, B is the predecessor of A.
The Root directory either does not have a parent directory, or it is its own parent directory.
In most file systems in every directory, there is an entry (often named ..) which points to its parent directory.
