fájlrendszerfa

The term "fájlrendszerfa" translates from Hungarian to "filesystem tree". It is a conceptual model used to describe the hierarchical structure of a file system on most modern operating systems. Imagine a tree turned upside down, with the root directory at the top. Each branch and sub-branch represents a directory, and the leaves represent individual files. The root directory, often denoted by a single slash ("/") on Unix-like systems or a drive letter like "C:\" on Windows, is the topmost level of the hierarchy. From the root, directories can contain other directories (subdirectories) and files. This organization allows for efficient storage, retrieval, and management of data by grouping related files and folders together. Navigating through the filesystem tree involves moving from one directory to another, either up towards the root or down into subdirectories. This structure is fundamental to how users and the operating system interact with stored information, providing a clear and logical way to organize potentially millions of files.
