MCQ: Which of the following Statements stands true for <strong>deleting a file?</strong>

• A. Given the name of the file, the system searches the directory to find the file’s location. The system must keep a write pointer to the location in the file where the next write is to take place. The write pointer must be updated whenever a write occurs.
• B. We search the directory for the named file. Having found the associated directory entry, we release all file space, so that it can be reused by other files, and erase the directory entry.
• C. Space in the file system must be found for the file and an entry for the new file must be made in the directory.
• D. We use a system call that specifies the name of the file and where (in memory) the next block of the file should be put. Again, the directory is searched for the associated entry, and the system needs to keep a delete pointer to the location in the file where the next read is to take place.
