  2. File URI scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme

    A valid file URI must therefore begin with either file:/path (no hostname), file:///path (empty hostname), or file://hostname/path. file://path (i.e. two slashes, without a hostname) is never correct, but is often used. Further slashes in path separate directory names in a hierarchical system of directories and subdirectories. In this usage ...

  3. Directory (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directory_(computing)

    Usually a file can only be in one directory at a time, but here File 2 is hard linked so it appears in two directories. Historically, and even on some modern embedded systems, the file systems either had no support for directories at all or had only a "flat" directory structure, meaning subdirectories were not supported; there was only a group ...

  4. Path (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_(computing)

    The following examples show MS-DOS/Windows-style paths, with backslashes used to match the most common syntax: A:\Temp\File.txt This path points to a file with the name File.txt, located in the directory Temp, which in turn is located in the root directory of the drive A:. C:..\File.txt

  5. Computer file - Wikipedia

    Files (or links to files) can be located in directories. However, more generally, a directory can contain either a list of files or a list of links to files. Within this definition, it is of paramount importance that the term "file" includes directories. This permits the existence of directory hierarchies, i.e., directories containing sub ...

  6. Symbolic link - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link

    A symbolic link contains a text string that is automatically interpreted and followed by the operating system as a path to another file or directory. This other file or directory is called the "target". The symbolic link is a second file that exists independently of its target. If a symbolic link is deleted, its target remains unaffected.

  7. Working directory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_directory

    In computing, the working directory of a process is a directory of a hierarchical file system, if any, [nb 1] dynamically associated with the process. It is sometimes called the current working directory (CWD) , e.g. the BSD getcwd [ 1 ] function, or just current directory . [ 2 ]

  8. Directory structure - Wikipedia

    It also has two folder like-items called "Default User" (an NTFS junction point to "Default" folder) and "All Users" (a NTFS symbolic link to "C:\ProgramData"). \Public: This folder serves as a buffer for users of a computer to share files. By default this folder is accessible to all users that can log on to the computer.

  9. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python sets are very much like mathematical sets, and support operations like set intersection and union. Python also features a frozenset class for immutable sets, see Collection types. Dictionaries (class dict) are mutable mappings tying keys and corresponding values. Python has special syntax to create dictionaries ({key: value})
