The next file types did you know there are 7 different types of Linux files in Linux that includes directories
links and a whole bunch of other stuff.
Let's look at them one by one.
The first one is a regular file.
Anything that does not have a letter associated to it at the beginning of it.
It's a regular file.
Anything that starts with D.
It's a directory any attribute of a file that has an L in front of it is a link and anything starts
with C is a special file or device file.
Meaning if you attach a keyboard or a C-p or a memory anything that is attached to your system that
is also created as a file and therefore starts with C and there is a socket file starts with as named
pipe then starts with P and a block device that starts with B.
Oftentimes these are the type of questions that are asked during the interview.
They'll ask you tell me the while.
Let's start with C..
What does that file is for or what is the file that starts with P.
Now remember I'm not talking about the file name.
I'm talking about the first column that you see when you run Eliz minus L that defines that type of
file that you're dealing with.
