I was has having problem in recognizing file types in my studies, therefore to learn I searched and read few documents and found these types under Unix / Linux:-
- (-) – ASCII/ordinary files
- (d) – Directories
- (c) – Character Special Files
- (b) – Block Special Files
- (p) – FIFO Files or Pipes
Further everything which carry down with Input Output Redirection over entire Unix / Linux is followed by
- Standard Input – “0” – Keyboard
- Standard Output – “1” – Terminal / Display
- Standard Error – “2” – Terminal / Display
Note:- It will be pleasure if someone would like to contribute more to this post
