# An example of a possible global info file.
/bin
Binaries needed before a /usr is mounted (single user mode).
/boot
Kernels / boot loader files
/dev
Device files
/etc
System-wide configuration files.
/etc/rc.d/
Slackware init scripts
/etc/X11
X windows system configuration files.
/home
Typically user home directories
*/lost+found
Contains files recovered by fsck in the event of file-system damage
/lib
/lib64
System libraries (essential for binaries in /bin, /sbin)
/media
/mnt
Spare, usually temporary mount points, usually for removable media
(/media)
/opt
Optional local packages
/proc
System & process information virtual pseudo-filesystem (man 5 proc)
/root
Root's home directory
/run
System runtime files
/sbin
System (admin) binaries needed before /usr is mounted
/srv
Files served by the system (e.g. web service)
/sys
System information pseudo-filesystem
/tmp
System wide temporary files, not guaranteed to be preserved between
reboots
/usr
Read-only data, historically a secondary hierarchy to be mounted after
'/', so binaries / data that might not be available during boot.
/usr/bin
User binaries, not needed at boot.
/usr/include
Standard include libraries (C, C++)
/usr/lib
/usr/lib64
Libraries (for binaries in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin)
/usr/local
A tertiary hierarchy for local system additions
/usr/sbin
Non-essential system binaries (e.g. daemons)
/usr/share
Shared data
/usr/src
Source code (e.g. kernel source)
/usr/X11R6
X windows (Version 11, release 6)
/var
Variable files, files that will likely change during run-time.
/var/cache
Application cache data.
/var/lib
State information generated by programs such as databases and
package managers
/var/lib/pkgtools/packages
Slackware package database
/var/lib/pkgtools/setup
Slackware setup/configuration scripts
/var/lock
Lock files
/var/log
log files (syslogd, klogd, httpd, other daemons)
/var/mail
User mailboxes
/var/spool
Spool directories for tasks waiting to be processed (cron,
mail, print files) (depreciates /var/spool/mail)
/var/tmp
Temporary files to be preserved across reboots
/proc/1
Each one of these subdirectories contains files and subdirectories exposing
information about the process with the corresponding process ID. Underneath
each of the /proc/[pid] directories, a task subdirectory contains subdirectories
of the form task/[tid], which contain corresponding information about each of the
threads in the process, where tid is the kernel thread ID of the thread. The
/proc/[pid] subdirectories are visible when iterating through /proc with getdents(2)
(and thus are visible when one uses ls(1) to view the contents of /proc).
/proc/self
When a process accesses this magic symbolic link, it resolves to the process's own /proc/[pid] directory.
/proc/thread-self
When a thread accesses this magic symbolic link, it resolves to the process's own /proc/self/task/[tid] directory.
# Could go on to add all of man 5 proc for example here.
