File struct

Instructions

Create the files and directories so that when you use the command tree below, the output will look like this:

$ tree struct/
struct/
├── 0
├── 1
├── 2
├── 3
│   └── text.txt
├── 4
│   └── text2.txt
├── 5
├── 6
├── 7
├── 8
├── 9
└── A
    └── text3.txt

Once it is done, use the command below to create the file file-struct.tar to be submitted.

$ tar -cf file-struct.tar *
$ ls
0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  A  file-struct.tar

Only file-struct.tar should be submitted.

Hints

In order to create new directories or folders in Linux or Unix-like operating systems you need to use the mkdir command. mkdir stands for “make directory.” you can use it like so:

$ mkdir my_folder
$ ls
my_folder

In this exercise you wil use the command tree to see the file structure as in the example bellow. tree is a recursive directory listing program that produces a depth-indented listing of files. With no arguments, tree lists the files in the current directory.

You will also need to use the tar command which helps to create, extract, and list archive contents. You can find more about the command in the link bellow.

You have to use Man or Google to know more about commands flags, in order to solve this exercise! Google and Man will be your friends!
