# 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.
