Copyright IBM Corporation 2008,Unit 4 Files and Directories,Copyright IBM Corporation 2008,Unit Objectives,After completing this unit,you should be able to:Describe the different file typesDescribe the AIX file system structureUse full and relative path names in a file specificationCreate,delete,and list directoriesUse the touch command to create an empty file,Copyright IBM Corporation 2008,A File,A file is:A collection of dataA stream of characters or a byte streamNo structure is imposed on a file by the operating system,Copyright IBM Corporation 2008,File Types,Ordinary:Text or code dataDirectory:A table of contents,that stores a list of files within thatdirectorySpecial Files:Represent hardware or logical devicesExample:The CD-ROM device is accessed via the/dev/cd0

access of files.In AIX,a file system is an allocation of storage.Similar in concept to partitions in the PC environment.Allows the operating system to store and retrieve the data from files quickly and efficiently.To access file systems,we associate them with a directory.AIX has several pre-defined file systems:/(root)/tmp/usr/opt/var/home/proc,Copyright IBM Corporation

Corporation 2008,Path Names,A sequence of names,separated by slashes(/),that describes the path the system must follow to locate a file in the file system.There are two types of path names:Absolute or Full Path Name(start from the/directory):Relative Path Name(start from current directory):,$vi/home/team01/doc/mon_report$/usr/bin/ls l/home/team01,$cd/home/team01$vi doc/mon_report$cd/usr/bin$./ls
