SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DESCRIPTION A directory behaves exactly like an ordinary file, save
|
||
|
|
that no user may write into a directory. The fact that a
|
||
|
|
file is a directory is indicated by a bit in the flag word
|
||
|
|
of its i-node entry.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Directory entries are 8 words long. The first word is the
|
||
|
|
i-node of the file represented by the entry, if non-zero;
|
||
|
|
if zero, the entry is empty.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Words 1-4 represent the (8-character) file name, space
|
||
|
|
padded on the right. These words are not necessarily
|
||
|
|
cleared for empty slots.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By convention, the first entry in each directory is
|
||
|
|
for "dd", which is the "directory directory" that holds
|
||
|
|
all the users' home directories and the "system" directory.
|
||
|
|
The "system" directory contains "init" and "sh".
