Alihakemistorakenne

Alihakemistorakenne refers to a hierarchical organization of directories and files on a computer's file system. This structure allows for efficient storage, retrieval, and management of data. At the top level is the root directory, from which all other directories and files branch out. Each directory can contain other directories, creating a nested structure, and can also contain individual files. This nested arrangement is often visualized as a tree, with the root at the base and branches extending upwards. The path to a specific file or directory is defined by its sequence of parent directories, starting from the root. Operating systems utilize this structure to locate and access data. For example, a typical file path might look like `/home/user/documents/report.txt`, indicating that `report.txt` is located within the `documents` directory, which is inside the `user` directory, which is in turn within the `home` directory, all originating from the root. This systematic organization is fundamental to how computers manage information.
