MICRO-PROJECT REPORT
“Implementing Directory Management using Shell Script”
1.0 Rationale:-
In our project we implement the Directory management system by using shell
programming. Shell is a software program that interprets commands from the users so that
the operating system can understand them and perform the appropriate functions.
Directory management constitutes the functions dealing with organization and
maintenance of various directories. Directories usually contain files of any type, but this
may vary between file systems. The content of a directory does not affect the directory
object itself.
In this directory management system project we perform function like Listing
Directories, Creating Directories, Modifying Directories
