When a relative path does begin with one of these prefixes, it will only be resolved relative to the requiring file. If these prefixes are not provided, path resolution will fallback to checking the paths in the `paths` configuration variable, as described later. When a require statement is executed directly in a REPL input prompt (not in a file), relative paths will be evaluated in relation to the pseudo-file `stdin`, located in the current working directory. If the code being executed is not tied to a file (e.g. using `loadstring`), executing any require statements in this code will result in an error.
