Trailing slashes on symbolic links to directories
I’m trying to emulate the process of path resolution (see man page path_resolution) in unix-like systems.

How to delete this indelible directory?
I untarred a corrupt tar file, and managed to end up with some directory
that I can not delete,
If I try to delete it, it seems like it can not be found, but ls shows it’s present, both with bash and with python I get similar behaviour, except right after I try to delete it with rm -rf, ls complains it can’t find it, then it lists it (see below after rm -rf). The find command shows the file is present,
but still I can’t think of a way to delete it.
Here are my attempts:
Lowercasing all directories under a directory
I want to lowercase every directories’ name under a directory. With which commands can I do that?
Why does chmod succeed on a file when the user does not have write permission on parent directory?
I am trying to understand file/dir permissions in Linux.
A user can list the files in a directory using
rsync compare directories?
Is it possible to compare two directories with rsync and only print the differences? There’s a dry-run option, but when I increase verbosity to a certain level, every file compared is shown.
Simple way to see the content of directories in Linux/UNIX file systems
In the past, I learned that in Linux/UNIX file systems, directories are just files, which contain the filenames and inode numbers of the files inside the directory.
Why can’t I remove the ‘.’ directory?
I tried removing the ‘.’ directory. I thought I could just delete my working directory without having to go into a parent directory.
Find directories that do not contain subdirectories
I’m writing script is ksh. Need to find all directory names directly under the current directory which contain only files, not subdirectories.
the slash (/) after a directory name on shell commands
I have a little question here.
Linux command line. Move all files and directories in directory, except some files and directories
I have a folder A which has files and directories, I want to move all those files and directories to another folder B, except file, file2, directory, and directory2.
