~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ In computing, a directory, catalog, or folder, is an entity in a file system which contains a group of files and other directories. A typical file system contains thousands of files, and directories help organize them by keeping related files together. A directory contained inside another directory is called a subdirectory of that directory. Together, the directories form a hierarchy, or tree structure. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ If you imagine the computer's file system as a file cabinet, high–level directories may be represented by the drawers, while lower–level subdirectories may be represented as file folders within the drawers. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Historically, and even on some modern embedded devices, the filesystems either have no support for directories at all or only have a flat directory structure, meaning subdirectories are not allowed; there is only a group of top–level directories each containing files. The first popular fully general hierarchical filesystem was that of UNIX. This type of filesystem was an early research interest of Dennis Ritchie. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ In modern times in Linux and other Unix–like systems, directory structure is strictly defined by the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
