File System Overview A major function of the file system is to manage storage devices. It allows you to 
perform operations such as directory create and delete, and file copy and display. 
If an operation, delete or overwrite for example, may cause problems such as data 
loss or corruption, the file system will ask you to confirm the operation by default.
Depending on the managed object, file system operations fall into “Directory 
Operations” on page 981, “File Operations” on page 982, “Storage Device 
Operations” on page 983, and “File System Prompt Mode Setting” on page 983.

specified directory or file information as shown in the following table:
