The host file in Unix is usually located in the /etc directory.
When a user logs in to a Unix system, the current working directory normally starts at the directory/file
Use the file type test: if [ -d $file ]; then echo $file is a directory elif [ -f $file ]; then echo $file is a file else echo $file is not a directory or a file fi
cp - copy a file rm - delete a file mv - rename a file mkdir - create a directory rmdir - remove a directory etc...
You rename a directory the same way you rename a file. Use the 'mv' command to rename it.
No, because the root is the very top of the directory structure. It has to be unique.
mv dir1 new_dir mv file file1 rename / move a file or directory
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) often used in Unix and Linux environments, Active Directory is based on LDAP.
Yes. A directory can be called a file and, in most implementations, under the wraps, it is a file, but it is not a file that an ordinary user can access. It is the responsibility of the file system code in the operating system. Unless you are writing code that manages file systems, it is best to think of a directory as a directory and to use the API provided to access it.
Assuming you had a file called 'file' in the current working directory it would try to guess what type of file it is, based on its contents.
