    root directory.
    - Owned by 3 different people (A, B, and
    C): Each file belongs to one of the three users,
    facilitating easy ownership distinction and file
    management.

    Single-Level Directory Systems

    Strengths Weaknesses

     -Easy to manage due to the lack  -Difficult organization as the


    of multiple directory levels. number of files increases.
    - Suitable for small - Lacks flexibility in

     -Contains 4 files: This directory system is


    simple, featuring only 4 files stored within a
    root directory.
    - Owned by 3 different people (A, B, and
    C): Each file belongs to one of the three users,

    management.

    Two-Level Directory Systems
    Benefits

    - Improved organization and


    classification of files.
    - Easier to expand when adding
    new users or files.

    => The two-level directory system is an effective solution for file
    management in environments with multiple users, enhancing security and
    organization.

    Hierarchical Directory Systems
    Structure
    : - The system features a root
    directory at the top level.
    - Below the root, user directories
    are organized into subdirectories.
     Organization:
    User
    - Each user (e.g., A, B, C) has their
    own directory, which can contain further
    subdirectories and files.
    - This structure allows users to
    organize their files logically.

    Path Names
    Structure
    : - The root directory is at the top, denoted
    as /.
    - Various subdirectories such as bin, etc,
    usr, and tmp branch out from the root.

    Subdirectory
    Details:
    Each subdirectory can contain files
    and additional nested subdirectories,
    illustrated with names like ast, lib, and
    dict. A UNIX directory tree
    Directory Operations
    1. Create: Establishes a new directory within the filesystem.
    2. Delete: Removes an existing directory, along with its contents if specified.
    3. Opendir: Opens a directory stream for reading its contents.
    4. Closedir: Closes a previously opened directory stream to free resources.
    5. Readdir: Reads the entries within a directory, typically returning the names
    of files and subdirectories.
    6. Rename: Changes the name of an existing directory, allowing for better
    organization.
    7. Link: Creates a hard link to a file or directory, enabling multiple references to
    the same data.
    8. Unlink: Removes a link to a file or directory, effectively deleting it if no links
    remain.
