Chapter 1. File System Structure
that are not designed to be directly utilized by users or shell scripts. The
libexec
directory contains
small helper programs called by other programs,
sbin
is for system administration binaries (those
that do not belong in
/sbin
),
share
contains files that are not architecture specific,
src
is for source
code, and
X11R6
is for the X Window System (XFree86 on Red Hat Linux).
1.2.1.9. The
/usr/local
Directory
The FHS says:
"The /usr/local hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when installing software locally. It
needs to be safe from being overwritten when the system software is updated. It may be used for programs
and data that are shareable among a group of hosts, but not found in /usr."
The
/usr/local
directory is similar in structure to the
/usr
directory. It has the following subdirec 
tories, which are similar in purpose to those in the
/usr
directory:
/usr/local
|  bin
|  doc
|  etc
|  games
|  include
|  lib
|  libexec
|  sbin
|  share
|  src
1.2.1.10. The
/var
Directory
Since the FHS requires that you be able to mount
/usr
read only, any programs that write log files or
need
spool
or
lock
directories should write them to the
/var
directory. The FHS states
/var
is for:
"...variable data files. This includes spool directories and files, administrative and logging data, and transient
and temporary files."
Below are some of the directories which should be subdirectories of
/var
:
/var
|  account
|  arpwatch
|  cache
|  crash
|  db
|  empty
|  ftp
|  gdm
|  kerberos
|  lib
|  local
|  lock
|  log
|  mail  > spool/mail
|  mailman
