If you use Hypercorn, it also has the option `--root-path`.

!!! note "Technical Details"
    The ASGI specification defines a `root_path` for this use case.

    And the `--root-path` command line option provides that `root_path`.

### Checking the current `root_path`

```
/files/{file_path:path}
```

In this case, the name of the parameter is `file_path`, and the last part, `:path`, tells it that the parameter should match any *path*.

So, you can use it with:

```Python hl_lines="6"
{!../../../docs_src/path_params/tutorial004.py!}
```
