The branching structure of directories on a disk, starting at the root directory. The root of the tree is usually considered as the of the structure, so the actual structure can be visualized as an upside-down tree with the root at the top and branches going down.
UNIX uses a hierarchical structure for organizing files and directories. This structure is often referred to as a directory tree . The tree has a single root node, the slash character ( /), and all other directories are contained below it.
A pictorial representation of the way information is stored in directories and their subdirectories on your hard disk. Windows Explorer' in Windows will provide such an image and permit you to cut and prune it.
A hierarchical structure of objects in the NetWare Directory Services database. The Directory tree includes container objects that are used to organize the network and leaf objects that represent resources.
a directory and the files it contains, all of its subdirectories and the files they contain, etc
A graphic representation of a hierarchical directory. Folders are often depicted with icons that resemble physical file folders such as those of a file cabinet. If you imagine the computer's file system as a file cabinet, high-level directories are the equivalent of file drawers, and low-level directories or subdirectories are the equivalent of file folders in the file drawers.
A hierarchy of objects and containers in a directory that can be viewed graphically as an upside-down tree, with the root object at the top. Endpoints in the tree are usually single (leaf) objects, and nodes in the tree, or branches, are container objects. A tree shows how objects are connected in terms of the path from one object to another. A simple tree is a single container and its objects. A contiguous subtree is any unbroken path in the tree, including all the members of any container in that path.
A graphical display of a disk's directory structure. The directories on the disk are shown as a branching structure. The top-level directory is the root directory.
Entries of the Directory Services database represented in hierarchical format
The logical representation of the information stored in the directory. It mirrors the tree model used by most file systems, with the tree's root point appearing at the top of the hierarchy. Also known as DIT.
A way of organizing data into a hierarchical structure, beginning with a root directory and branching into subdirectories and files.
The organization of directories (or folders) and files and on a hard drive, like the branches of an upside-down tree.The main directory is called the "root directory".
