Notes and Comments
- Directories are stored as file entries with a length of 0. Directory names will always build up like as normal file tree. For example, if the directory name is valid, it is assumed that the directory is inside the current directory, but a directory with name ".." means go back up to a previous directory. Using this method, the files and their directories can be built up level by level.
