| | Root directory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In computer file systems, the root directory is the first or top-most directory in a hierarchy. | | | Confusingly, it is not a root directory in the sense of this article, but rather the home directory of the Superuser (conventionally known as "root"). | | | To use the example of a physical file cabinet, if the separate drawers in the file cabinet are represented as the highest level of sub-directories in the file system, then the room the file cabinet is in may be representated as the root directory. |

| | root directory - a Whatis.com definition |
| | In a computer file system that is organized as a hierarchy or tree, the root directory is the directory that includes all other directories. | | | In a UNIX environment, the special user is known as an avatar. | | | Only a few special users of a shared operating system will be given the authority to access all file directories and files under the root directory. |

| | What is directory traversal? |
| | The root directory prevents attackers from executing files such as cmd.exe on Windows platforms or accessing sensitive files such as the "passwd" password file on Unix platforms, as these files reside outside of the root directory. | | | All files placed in the root directory and in its sub-directories are accessible to users. | | | The problem is that the IIS root directory enforcer did not check for escape codes and allowed that request to execute. |

| | Information Security Glossary - Root Directory |
| | In a computer's filing system on the hard disk, the root directory is the directory (or 'folder') from which all other directories will be created. | | | In Unix the all powerful user of the system is also known as root which permits access and all privileges to the root directory and hence the entire filing system. | | | In Microsoft Windows&; the root is denoted by the symbol '\' and in the world of Unix is shown by '/' (just to be different!) |

| | Root Directory and Regular Directories |
| | Regular directories can have an arbitrary size; they use space on the disk much the way files do, and when more space is needed to hold more entries, the directory can be expanded the same way a file can. | | | The directory at the "base" of the logical tree is called, appropriately enough, the root directory. | | | The root directory located on the disk volume directly after the two copies of the FAT, which are themselves directly below the other key disk structures. |

| | Errors Creating Files or Folders in the Root Directory |
| | Because the root directory is 16K in size, it can contain a maximum of 512 directory entries, which are 32 bytes each. | | | These directory entries contain information such as the file name, extension, attributes, time and date the file was last modified, the starting cluster number, and the file size. | | | This limits the root directory on a hard disk drive to 16K: 32 sectors x 512 bytes per sector = 16,384 bytes, or 16K. |
