Description
Root and relative directory definitions are
used to isolate file-system details from module definitions. A
relative directory is defined in relation to another directory
definition, that is either a root directory or another
relative directory (which itself is eventually associated with a
root directory). If this root directory location changes,
every relative directory associated with it is adjusted automatically.
