Working with files and directories

Using files

The system is unconcerned with the structure of the information in a file; all it sees is a stream of characters. Individual programs may impose a structure on the file, and you may see references to records and fields within a file, but the file itself is the smallest piece of information that is stored under a name and recognized by the system.
