Answer: Open-file table
Notes: The operating system keeps a small table, called the open-file table, containing information about all open files. When a file operation is requested, the file is specified via an index into this table, so no searching is required. When the file is no longer being actively used, it is closed by the process, and the operating system removes its entry from the open-file table.
