Question - 64 : - What can you tell about shell variables?
Answer - 64 : - A variable is like a name. It is defined as a character string to which a value is assigned, where values could be the number, text, filename, etc. The shell maintains the set of internal variables as well as enables deletion, assignment, and the creation of variables.
Thus, a shell variable is a special variable that is set by the shell and is required by the shell in order to function correctly. Some of these variables are environment variables whereas others are local variables.
So, the shell variables are a combination of identifiers and assigned values that exist within the shell. These variables are local to the shell in which they are defined as well as they work in a particular way. They may have default value or values can be assigned manually by using appropriate assignment command.
To define a shell variable, the set command is used.
To delete a shell variable, the unset command is used.

The shell allows you to assign values to the variables when specified on the command line. It also performs Filename substitution.
The shell takes care of input and output redirection.
The shell performs pipeline hook-up by connecting the standard output from the command preceding the ‘|’ to the standard input of the one following ‘|’.
The shell provides certain commands to customise and control environment.
The shell has its own built-in integrated programming language which is typically easier to debug and modify.
Question - 66 : - Define inode.
Answer - 66 : - When a file is created inside a directory, it accesses the two attributes, namely, file name and inode number. The file name is first mapped with Inode number and stored in the table and then this Inode number serves as a medium to access Inode. Thus, an inode can be defined as an entry created and set aside on a section of the disk for a file system. It serves as a data structure and nearly stores each information that is required to be known about a file.
This information usually includes the following details;
The File location on the disk
The Size of the file
The Device Id and Group Id
The File mode information
The File protection flags
The Access privileges for owner, group.
The Timestamps for file creation, modifications
