Mini File System (COMPSCI340 Assignment)

This is a simple file management system coded in Python.

This is a very simple disk operating system called TinyDOS which provides the ability to store and retrieve data on a virtual drive.

The following commands are supported:

• format volumeName Creates an ordinary file called volumeName and fills it in as a newly formatted TinyDOS volume. The real file will be 66944 bytes long.

• ls fullDirectoryPathname Lists the contents of the directory specified by fullDirectoryPathname. All pathnames of files and directories for TinyDOS should be fully qualified.

• mkfile fullFilePathname Makes a file with the pathname fullFilePathname. Any directories in the path should already exist.

• mkdir fullDirectoryPathname Makes a directory with the pathname fullDirectoryPathname. Any directories in the path should already exist.

• append fullFilePathname "data" Writes all of the data between the double quotes to the end of the file called fullFilePathname. The file must already exist. Double quotes will not appear inside the data.

• print fullFilePathname Prints all of the data from the file called fullFilePathname to the screen. The file must already exist.

• delfile fullFilePathname Deletes the file called fullFilePathname. The file must already exist.

• deldir fullDirectoryPathname Deletes the directory called fullDirectoryPathname. The directory must already exist and the directory must be empty.

• quit The TinyDOS program quits.
