One high-performance system for managing these entities makes use of a pointer called an extent and is named Veritas. The IBM VM/CMS maximized performance by requiring contiguous allocation for these things. In some implementations, their locations are stored in a data structure called an inode. Aliases for these things can be created by symbolic links. Cached information about these entities can be stored in a descriptor or handle after the initial open command is called. Their underlying technology is called "cooked" when a system for storing them exists on the partition. Systems for managing these entities include NTFS and FAT, which stores them across a disk. For 10 points, name these entities typically stored in directories on a computer, exemplified by MP3s and Word documents.
