What ${HOME} means?

Hi Every body,

Does it mean "/home/" or it means "/home/user/"?

Best regards,

"echo ${HOME}"

It is usually set to be the home directory of the user you're logged in as, for example /home/username or (on Mac) /Users/username.

Code:

echo $HOME

Curly braces don't change that.
