Understanding Directory Hierarchy
In Linux, understanding the directory hierarchy is crucial for efficient navigation and file management. A Linux system’s directory structure, also known as the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), is a defined tree structure that helps to prevent files from being scattered all over the system and instead organize them in a logical and easy-to-navigate manner.
Each directory serves a specific purpose. For instance, /bin holds binary executable files (command files), /etc has system configuration files, /home stores users’ personal files, and /var contains varying files such as logs and print queues.
No code snippet is necessary as understanding directory hierarchy is a conceptual knowledge and doesn’t involve code execution.
