target file

A target file is a specific location or filename on a computer where data is saved or stored when a process completes. It acts as the destination for output generated by software programs, operations, or scripts. Think of it like a designated folder or document where final results are organized. Choosing the right target file ensures that your data is stored correctly and can be easily retrieved later. It’s an essential part of file management, helping keep your information organized and accessible for future use.
