CFN3 File System
Different directories may contain files having the same filenames. In order to
uniquely identify a file, its full name-called the pathname-is used. The
pathname includes the directory (and any subdirectories) that contains the file;
for example:
/directoryname/subdirectoryname/filename.
The root directory is called / (slash) on the CFN3 application and directory
names are separated by a /. (On NT or MS-DOS systems \ [a backslash] is used
instead of /.) So, for example, the filename /BIN/TREE.BIN refers to the file
TREE.BIN in the directory BIN under the root directory (/).
Figure 15-1 shows
this directory structure.
Figure 15-1: Sample Directory Tree Structure
There are two special directory names: . (dot) and .. (dot dot). The . (dot)
represents the current directory, and .. (dot dot) represents the parent directory
(one level up) of the current directory.
The current directory is the directory you are in at the present time. Whenever
the CFN3 application is turned on, one directory is always the current directory
(just as whenever you are inside a house, you are always in one room or
another).
You can give a full pathname or relative pathname (using the dots and slash) to
name a file that is not in the current directory. For example, ../FRAMOS.BIN
names the file FRAMOS.BIN in the parent of the current directory, and /
FRAMOS.BIN names the file FRAMOS.BIN in the root directory.
