Abstract
Creating, removing, listing, renaming, copying, and reloading are the main actions performed on files and directories. Typical Unix distributions also include a variety of commands for extracting special information from binary and text files. A further group of Unix programs serve for management of file systems. However, the commands available for these purposes are accessible not all to the average user, or are available only with limited features.
