- [base directory]{#gloss-base-directory}
The location from which relative paths are resolved.
- For expressions in a file, the base directory is the directory containing that file.
This is analogous to the directory of a [base URL](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1808#section-3.3).
<!-- which is sufficient for resolving non-empty URLs -->
<!--
The wording here may look awkward, but it's for these reasons:
* "with --expr": it's a flag, and not an option with an accompanying value
* "written in": the expression itself must be written as an argument,
whereas the more natural "passed as an argument" allows an interpretation
where the expression could be passed by file name.
-->
- For expressions written in command line arguments with [`--expr`](@docroot@/command-ref/opt-common.html#opt-expr), the base directory is the current working directory.
[base directory]: #gloss-base-directory
- [experimental feature]{#gloss-experimental-feature}
Not yet stabilized functionality guarded by named experimental feature flags.
