📘 System
In a Linux system, the file system is organized into a hierarchical structure, starting with the root directory (represented by a forward slash /
). The root directory contains several subdirectories, including /bin
, /etc
, /home
, /lib
, /media
, /mnt
, /opt
, /sbin
, /tmp
, and /usr
.
These directories contain system executables, configuration files, user home directories, libraries, removable media, mount points, optional software, system executables, temporary files, and shared software, respectively.
Other directories, such as /dev
, /proc
, and /sys
, contain special files that provide access to hardware devices and kernel information.
