Problem
As a college project I need to implement a basic file system from within a file. So how do I go about this? What are the things that I would need to know? The requirements include having a daemon process in the background. Also the applications that use this system need to connect to the server using a Unix domain socket The file system should have the following capabilities: - List files stored along with their sizes. - Create files - Allow changes to files - Delete files
