A path is a location in a directory structure. Filenames only include information about the name of the file. Directories only include information about the name of the directory. Filepaths are paths that specify the location of a file.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
