Files and directories

Files and directories

The basic unit in which the SCO OpenServer system stores information is the file. A file is a named collection of data that you can move around, copy, rename, or delete. Files are stored in a filesystem, a storage area on your computer's hard disk or disks. A filesystem is split into directories, which are smaller storage areas that make it easier to locate individual files.
