When setting up a project, the layout (or directory structure) is important to get right. A sensible layout means that potential contributors don’t have to spend forever hunting for a piece of code; file locations are intuitive. Since we’re dealing with an existing project, it means you’ll probably need to move some stuff around.
If parents is true, any missing parents of this path are created as
needed; they are created with the default permissions without taking
mode into account (mimicking the POSIX mkdir -p command).
If exist_ok is false (the default), an FileExistsError is raised if
the target directory already exists.
I know that we can use os.walk() to list all sub-directories or all files in a directory. However, I would like to list the full directory tree content:
I need to process all files in a directory tree recursively, but with a limited depth.
What is this folder: /run/user/1000 on my Fedora system and what does it do?
On most FHS systems, there is a /tmp folder as well as a /var/tmp folder. What is the functional difference between the two?
What does the “etc” folder in the root directory stand for? I think knowing this will help me remember where certain files are located.
I have deleted some files around /var/lib/dpkg/, namely:
Installing something in windows takes a click of a button. But every time I try to install something in linux, which is not found in APT, I get so confused.
I have done some research about this on Google, but the results were cloudy. Why is the / sign used to denote the root directory. Are there any solid reasons behind it?
