Terminology: the directory (is not a folder, and not a directory folder).
FreeBSD has directories, not folders. :-)
Absolutely! I don't want to sound like *that* much of a unix-bigot; but
here, i guess i am. Isn't the word "directory" part of graphy
theory? Or is it just "K&R theory" :-)
I'd always assumed it was a term borrowed from the telephone system that
was Bell Labs main concern.
The list mapping names to telephone numbers (or vice versa) was called a
directory, as in "directory assistance".
In Unix, the names are filenames and the numbers are inodes.
