 Copyright © 1996 O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.

Chapter Summary
This chapter discussed how the UNIX filesystem is structured, the types of objects in the filesystem, and how file permission bits work. It also examined most of the general-purpose functions used for working in the filesystem. With just the tools described in this and the two preceding chapters, you can perform a dazzling number of tasks that you may never have thought about before. The next chapter covers even more things that you can do with files.
