<div><p>This topic introduces the basic concepts of integrated file system,
|
||
|
|
such as directory, link, path name, stream file, name continuity, extended
|
||
|
|
attributes, and scanning support.</p>

<ul class="ullinks">
|

|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaaxdir.htm">Directory</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
<span>A <dfn class="term">directory</dfn> is a special
|
||
|
|
object that is used to locate objects by names that you specify. Each directory
|
||
|
|
contains a list of objects that are attached to it. That list can include
|
||
|
|
other directories.</span></li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaaxlinkifs.htm">Link</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
A <dfn class="term">link</dfn> is a named connection
|
||
|
|
between a directory and an object. A user or a program can tell the server
|
||
|
|
where to find an object by specifying the name of a link to the object. A
|
||
|
|
link can be used as a path name or as part of a path name.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaaxpath.htm">Path name</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
A <dfn class="term">path name</dfn> (also called a <span>pathname</span> on some systems) tells the server how
|
||
|
|
to locate an object. </li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaaxstmfile.htm">Stream file</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
A <dfn class="term">stream file</dfn> is a randomly
|
||
|
|
accessible sequence of bytes, with no further structure imposed by the system.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaaxunicode.htm">Name continuity</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
When you use the <span class="q">"root"</span> (/), QOpenSys, and user-defined file
|
||
|
|
systems, you can take advantage of system support that ensures characters
|
||
|
|
in object names remain the same.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaaxea.htm">Extended attributes</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
An extended attribute is information associated with an object that provides additional details about the object. The extended attribute consists of a name, which is used to refer to it, and a value. The value can be text, binary data, or another type of data.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaaxscan.htm">Scanning support</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
<span>With <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span>,
|
||
|
|
you can scan integrated file system objects.</span></li>
