I am trying to check relative path on Linux for exists.

~/Documents/imgs always return "do not exists". But full path:
"/home/dima/Documents/imgs" is "Dir exists".
Why? It's same paths!
~ is expanded by your shell. It is not a relative path, and
system calls do not recognize it (same with environmental
variables).
