====== Special file ======
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unlike a regular file (a bunch of accessible data organized on a filesystem), it's a special filename that points to a ressource or similar:
|
||
|
|
* character special files
|
||
|
|
* block special files
|
||
|
|
* named pipes
|
||
|
|
* socket files
|
||
|
|
Since a directory also is only a file, you can count it as special file, too.
