The first is an entry for the +directory itself. The second is for the parent +directory. +The meaning of ".." is modified for the root directory +of the master file system and for the root directories of removable +file systems. +In the first case, there is no parent, and in the second, +the system does not permit off-device references. +Therefore in both cases ".." has the +same meaning as ".". +.sp +.ti 0 +SEE ALSO file system (V) |
