Abstract

PURPOSE:To quickly retrieve directories and files by diagramming and displaying the hierarchical structure of directories and flies to indicate positional relations of directories and files. CONSTITUTION:The disk file management system where disk files are managed by the hierarchical structure is provided with a command analysis means 2 which analyzes information of an inputted command, a present position clarifying means 3 which clarifies the present directory and file positions in accordance with the analysis result of the means 2, a disk retrieval means 4 which takes in information of the directory and the file from an external storage device in accordance with the analysis result of the means 2, and a picture generating means 5 which generates a window display picture image in accordance with information from the means 3 and the means 4. Thus, the objective directory is quickly searched, and the hierarchical structure of the whole of directories and the present directory position are quickly recognized.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention shows a disk / file management system, in particular, a directory built in a UNIX magnetic disk and a hierarchical structure of a file system to show whether a working directory is appropriate or not. It relates to a disk / file management method for confirming.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in UNIX, like other OSs,
Information is managed by directories and files. That is, information about files, that is, information such as file names and file sizes is managed by a directory. Then, by realizing the hierarchical structure of the directory, a large number of files can be classified and managed, and it is possible to find out where the necessary files are.

In order to move to the desired directory, the user confirms the current directory name with the command, then confirms the directory name and file name under the command with the command, and then confirms with the command. And move to the directory or file. The command here is an instruction word for operating UNIX.

According to this method, the target file cannot be reached unless the hierarchical structure of the directory or file is known and the command is used for confirmation. Therefore, for a person who does not know the hierarchical structure of directories and files, the more directories and files, the more troublesome the operation.

[0005]

The above-mentioned conventional disk / file management method has a drawback that it takes time and effort because a command file is frequently used to search for a target file.

An object of the present invention is to graphically display the hierarchical structure of directories and files, which is called in UNIX, to clearly indicate which files are under which directories, and realize quick search of directories and files. In order to do so, it provides a disk file management method.

[0007]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The system of the present invention is a disk management system that manages files on a disk in a hierarchical structure.
In the file management system, a command input / output monitor for analyzing the input command information from the window input / output monitor, and a current position clarification device for clarifying the current directory and file position based on the result analyzed by the command analysis unit. And a window display screen image based on the result of analysis by the command analysis means, a disk search means for fetching directory and file information from an external storage device, and information from the current position clarification means and disk search means. And a screen creating means for creating.

[0008]

In the disk / file management system of the present invention, U
When you open the normal multi window of NIX and enter the command for displaying the directory and file diagram, the hierarchy diagram of directories and files is displayed and the current directory position is read and reflected in the diagram, and the current directory (current user When the directory containing) is moved, the schematic display is changed, and when the directory is newly created or deleted, the information is immediately reflected and the schematic display is changed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

The directory / file diagram display device 1 in the disk / file management of the present embodiment is a command analysis means 2 for analyzing the information of the command input from the window input / output monitor 7, and a result analyzed by the command analysis means 2. More specifically, the current position clarification means 3 for clarifying the current positions of directories and files, and the disk for fetching the directory and file information from the external storage device (disk) 6 based on the result analyzed by the command analysis means 2 as well. The search means 4 and the screen creation means 5 for forming a window display screen image based on the information from the current position clarification means 3 and the disk search means 4.

FIG. 2 is a diagram in which a display request command of the device is input to activate the directory and file schematic display of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a directory / file operation command in which a directory addition command is input. , Which is also added to the schematic display of directories and files of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a directory / file operation command, in which a directory deletion command is input,
FIG. 5 is a diagram in which the directory and file of the present invention are deleted and displayed. In FIG. 5, a directory / file operation command is input to move the current directory. It is a figure which is reflected in the schematic display and the position display of the current directory moves to the current directory of the move destination.

When the current directory move command is input, the hatching of the graphic display of the directory and the file is moved to the destination directory or file specified when the command is input.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, (1) the target directory can be reached quickly.

(2) It is possible to understand the hierarchical structure of the entire directory and to know what kind of file should be created under which directory when creating a new directory or file.

(3) I can quickly grasp the position of the current directory and the route to an unknown directory.

There is an effect.
