File System Overview A major function of the file system is to manage storage devices. It allows you to
perform operations such as directory create and delete, and file copy and display.

Depending on the managed object, file system operations fall into “Directory
Operations” on page 1029, “File Operations” on page 1030, “Storage Device
Operations” on page 1031, and “File System Prompt Mode Setting” on page
1032.
