Okay thanks to all... but now do you mean this file is linked to some other file? so can i tweak some file which can change the meaning
It's hardcoded. In the original UNIX way back in the 70's I think they were just links added manually, but they quickly became an operating system feature.
They're not just a UNIX thing either -- DOS/Windows shells have always had them too.
And really, you need them. It'd be a pain having to type the absolute path for everything all the time. (Windows CE has no concept of 'current directory' at all, and is indeed a pain.)
So when you're doing
what you're really doing is
Which UNIX will actually let you do, even when you're sitting inside it! The directory won't vanish for real until you stop using it, but nobody else will be able to find it anymore, and once you leave it it will really be gone.
