How does unix access a file from a directory?
Unix accesses a file from a directory using a hierarchical file system structure. When a command is executed to access a file, the Unix kernel navigates through the directory tree, starting from the root directory, to locate the specified path. Each directory contains entries that map file names to their corresponding inode numbers, which store metadata and point to the actual data blocks on disk. By reading the inode, Unix can access the file's content efficiently.
