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 2008A FileA 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 2008File TypeslOrdinary:Text or code datalDirectory:A table of contents,that stores a list of files within thatdirectorylSpecial Files:Represent hardware or logical devicesExample:The CD-ROM device is accessed via the/dev/cd0 file.Copyright IBM Corporation 2008#typemodelinksusergroupdatesizeloc4dir7552team01staffJuly 10 10:1551210file6441team01staffJuly 11 11:00

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

sequence of names,separated by slashes(/),that describes the path the system must follow to locate a file in the file system.lThere are two types of path names:Absolute or Full Path Name(start from the/directory):lRelative 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 l/home/team01 Copyright IBM

supported:OrdinaryDirectorySpecialThe AIX file system structure is a hierarchical tree.Files are accessed using either full or relative path names.A path name always begins with a/(forward slash).The following commands can be used with directories:pwd,cd,mkdir,rmdir,and ls.Copyright IBM Corporation 2008
