File Information Structures - inodes, continued
As a direct consequence, multiple file names
(even from different directories) may refer to the same file.
These are termed file-system links.
- Individual processes access open files though their
file descriptor table;
- this table indexes the kernel's
global file table; and
- that table indexes the
device's inode table.
