This one annoyed me a bit, there might be other places where the word "path" is incorrectly used for "file name". From the GCS (and I happen to agree quite strongly):
Please do not use the term "pathname" that is used in Unix documentation; use "file name" (two words) instead. We use the term "path" only for search paths, which are lists of directory names.
