No path name with the exception of the root's absolute path name.

No path name contains multiple consecutive slash characters.

With the initial slash character removed.

Every node's path name relative to the root is its absolute path name.

Every node's path name relative to its parent is its node name (exceptįor the root node, which does not have a parent).

Every node's path name relative to itself is the empty string.

No relative path names begin with the slash character.

In order to form n's absolute path name, with the initial slashĬharacter (if present) removed. Is simply the string that must be appended to a's absolute path name

Note that all absolute path names begin with the slash character.Ī node n's path name relative to its ancestor a All other nodes have absolute path names of + '/' +. The root node have absolute path names of '/' +. The root node has an absolute path name of '/'. It cannot contain the slash character ('/'). Only restrictions on this name are that it cannot be the empty string, and Node has an arbitrary node name, specified at the time it is created. The root node has a node name of the empty string (''). Tree has a node name (which is not necessarily unique),Ī unique absolute path name, and a path name relative to each Nodes in a preference tree are named in a similar fashion toĭirectories in a hierarchical file system. Stored in the system preference tree might include installation Window location and size for a particular application. User preference tree might include font choice, color choice, or preferred The precise description of 'user' and 'system' will varyįrom implementation to implementation.

Preference tree, and all users in a given system share the same system Preferences and one for system preferences. There are two separate trees of preference nodes, one for user The user of this class needn'tīe concerned with details of the backing store.

Implementations include flat files, OS-specific registries,ĭirectory servers and SQL databases. Persistently in an implementation-dependent backing store. This classĪllows applications to store and retrieve user and system A node in a hierarchical collection of preference data.
