Most modern operating systems are not directly responsible for file management functions. Instead the operating system calls one of possibly several file management systems to provide these functions. This gives much greater flexibility and the ability to exchange files on different media (e.g. FAT, NTFS, HFS+, CD/DVD/UDF ISO-13346, Files-11).
