Linux Directory Management
In Linux all entities are described in files. End users are most
familiar with files containing data that they work with on a daily
basis. Additionally, files can include such things as end-user
programs as well as operating system programs, program
control parameters, hardware device descriptions, and system
status information.
Files are stored in directories (referred to as folders in a GUI
environment) and directories are arranged in a hierarchical tree
structure. Your everyday workings within a Linux environment
will require that you understand where your files are stored,
how to navigate through the directory tree and how to
manipulate files within the directory structure.
In this chapter we will introduce the commands you will need
to know in order to manipulate files and directories from the
Linux command line.
