The File System

A computer file is a string of bytes that can be any length, from one byte up to all of the bytes available on the disk.

What is the File System?

The file system is the way your computer stores and organizes information on storage devices, such as hard drives or flash drives.

It's like the giant library of your digital life, where all your files and folders are carefully arranged. In fact, it's more like a library than you might think, because just like books, files have names, locations, and metadata that describe them.

The mutations gave birth to a symbiosis between Shadow Matter particles and the implemented neurotech on human soldiers. Further research on the topic conducted by Order Master Doctor Talia, revealed that infection causes human brain cells to go through genetic alterations. This is how the first generation of cyborgs were the human soldiers who were closest to the explosion. The remaining "meat" parts of the body were under the control of the infection and the Shadow Matter through this symbiotic cosmic singularity by neural connections. - Journals of Order of Epoch 2231 Anno Domini

Without a file system, your computer wouldn't know how to find the information you need, and you'd be lost in a sea of data. Fortunately, file systems make it easy for you to browse, search, and access your files, and they do so with a touch of magic.

What is a file?

A computer file is a string of bytes that can be any length, from one byte up to all of the bytes available on the disk. This file system gives application programs an easy way of using the disk.

Applications can ask the OS to create, read, write or erase something called a file. You open it, request bytes, send it bytes, make it bigger or smaller, and close the file.

If you ask the OS to look at your disk, it will show you a list of all the file names, and usually their sizes and the date and time when they were last written to.
