Note! Files inside your project are NOT files in the disk directory 
system. They are part of the executable _archive._ Thus there is no such 
linux system path at runtime outside the IDE.

Having said that. What you seem to be looking for is the source code 
directory, which you should know but the application doesn't. Think what 
you're asking "Hey project, where is your source code stored?"
