My view on the relationship between Linux directory and file

my view on the file system access of Linux

Learning Linux , influenced by the previous habit of using Windows , often confuses the concept of Linux files.

Today, I carefully combed the relationship between the Linux directory and the file.

Linux file systems are different from windows, and all directories and files are derived from the/ root directory.

The management of a file is managed by a unique inode number that is distributed uniformly by the system .

Linux , Everything is a file,/ directory is no exception, is also a file, the content of the file is logically in/ directory under the directory and the meta-information of the file [ include Inode node, file name, size, permissions, owner, etc.]

As shown, after ls views the file list, the following results are obtained

Here, you can think of Linux files that contain only the contents of the file, that is, its data information, not including the meta-information of the file.

Its meta-information is in the data information of the directory that contains it.

For the sake of understanding, I drew a picture to show its relationship .

I hope my understanding will be helpful to the people who read this article.
