Linux Directory/File Structure

C:// --> windows

1. /home --> Users directory in windows --> contains home directories for all users
to store their personal files
ex. /home/mine or /home/gayathri
how to know how many users are there then see
how many directories in the Home directory

2. /bin --> Contains binary files for your commands. user can access the commands
ex. mkdir, ls, date , cd , ps...
3. /sbin --> s means System bin --> just like bin it contains the commands and
files, but only root user can access.
ex. ifconfig , reboot, shutdown , swapon..
Types of users
Super user/root user(only one)/admin user
root(who create the normal users) --> who have all the access
Normal users(like us)
System users(created by software)
--> normal users can access binaries only in bin directory
--> root users can access both bin and sbin directories

devops.txt in 1 to temp
temp to devops.txt in 2
any body can have the access for temp dir
