file system API ? #80

Closed cpanceac closed 1 year ago

cpanceac commented 1 year ago

On page 10:

"These system calls are routed to the part of the operating sys- tem called the file system[..]"

Should it be called 'file system API' instead? I mean how do you differentiate between the way the files are stored on the storage device and the software that works with this files structure?

hmmm, it seems that, according to this page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system

the filesystem is both the data structure and the method(s) to work with it ...
