Introduction
Welcome to the Demodir System Program! This program is designed to manage and display the directory
tree structure within the `demodir` directory. The following guide provides instructions on how to use
the program's features.
1. Building the Demodir Tree
To build the entire `demodir` tree of directories, follow these steps:
-
Choose option 1 from the main menu.
The program will create the `demodir` tree structure in your current directory.
2. Deleting the Demodir Tree
To delete the `demodir` tree and all its files, follow these steps:
-
Choose option 2 from the main menu.
The program will delete the entire `demodir` tree.
3. Moving Subdirectories
To move a subdirectory to another location within the `demodir`, follow these steps:
2|Page
Choose option 3 from the main menu.
Enter the source subdirectory name when prompted.
Enter the destination subdirectory name when prompted.
The program will move the specified subdirectory to the destination.
4. Displaying the Absolute Path of Demodir
To display the absolute path of the `demodir`, follow these steps:
o
o
Choose option 4 from the main menu.
The program will print the absolute path of the `demodir`.
5. Displaying Demodir Content
To display the content of the entire `demodir` tree in a similar format to 'ls -liR', follow these
steps:
-
Choose option 5 from the main menu.
The program will print the detailed content of the `demodir` tree.
6. Exiting the Program
To exit the program, follow these steps:
-
Choose option 6 from the main menu.
The program will terminate, and you will exit to the command prompt.
