Most programming languages provide an interface to the file system functions of the operating system, including the ability to set (change) the working directory of the program. In the C language, the POSIX function chdir() effects the system call which changes the working directory. [11]

The root directory is the base of the hierarchy, and is usually stored at some fixed location on disk. A hierarchical file system contrasts with a flat file system, where information about all files is stored in a single directory, and there are no subdirectories. Almost all file systems today are hierarchical.
A directory is a logical section of a file system used to hold files. Directories may also contain other directories. The cd command can be used to change into a subdirectory, move back into the parent directory, move all the way back to the root directory or move to any given directory.
The setuid permission set on a directory is ignored on most UNIX and Linux systems. [5] [citation needed] However FreeBSD can be configured to interpret setuid in a manner similar to setgid, in which case it forces all files and sub-directories created in a directory to be owned by that directory's owner - a simple form of inheritance. [6]
Permissions that affect files and subdirectories include: Read (r) allows a user to look at the contents of files in a directory and list files in subdirectories. Files that are to be granted read access to any user, including the owner, need to have the standard UNIX "owner read" permission set. Write (w) allows a user to modify files in a ...
This was an artifact of early Unix programming. Specifically, when Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie were migrating Unix to a PDP-11, the contents of the /bin and /lib directories, which were to be the first directories mounted on startup and to contain all essentials for the OS to function, became too large to fit on an RK05 disk drive.
