- Listing Files
One way to classify a file is on the basis of its domain.
A file can be permanent or temporary, or it may exist only to one
particular process. The file system maintains separate directories
to record the location of temporary files and permanent files. Of course,
there is no file system directory for files that exist only to their
creating process (new files).
In this chapter, we will address the following questions:
What do the various domains mean?
Can a file's domain be changed?
How can the files in various domains be listed?
