There are 3 types of files:

  • Ordinary files- it contains only data as a stream of characters.
  • Directory files- it contains name of files and the number associated with them.
  • Device files- All devices and peripherals are represented by files.

Linux does not have any special "file formats." Document files exist exactly as they do in Windows (.doc, .bmp, .mp3, etc...). File extensions, however, are not required.
