Study Notes
Directory Structure
- A directory is a logical storage area on a secondary storage medium, used to organize files for easy reference. Directories are also called folders.
- A subdirectory is any directory within another directory. It is also referred to as the child directory.
- Any directory containing another directory. A directory is NOT a parent directory if it only contains a file.
- The root directory is the directory that is at the first level of a directory tree. It is also the first folder listed in the path.
- The working directory is the directory in which you are currently working. In order to manipulate the child directory then the working directory must be the parent of the child.
- The path of a file is the hierarchy of directories (folders) where the file is found. An example of a file path is shown below in blue: Food/Fruits/Vitamin_oranges.doc
