root(/) File System

The root (/) file system is designed to take full advantage of the stream file support and hierarchical directory structure of the integrated file system. It has the characteristics of the DOS and OS/2 file systems.

User Access

The root (/) file system can be accessed only through the integrated file system interface. You work with the root (/) file system using integrated file system commands, user displays, or ISO stream I/O functions and system APIs.

Path Names

This file system preserves the same uppercase and lowercase form in which object names are entered, but no distinction is made between uppercase and lowercase when the system searches for names.
