The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) defines the main directories and their contents in Linux and other Unix-like computer operating systems. All files and directories appear under the root directory "/", even if stored on different physical devices. Directories defined by the FHS include:
Directory
Description
/bin/
Essential command binaries for all users (e.g., cat, ls, cp)
mailing list is available to discuss interpretations of the FHS document and of possible future changes and additions.
To be regarded seriously, proposals should include a unified patch to the sgml source (create the attachment after you've opened the bug, please do not cut-and-paste patches into comments).
The process is overseen by FHS editors, Rusty Russell, Daniel Quinlan, and Christopher Yeoh.
Local placement of local files is a local issue, so FHS does not attempt to usurp system administrators.
FHS addresses issues where file placements need to be coordinated between multiple parties such as local sites, distributions, applications, documentation, etc.
FHS added this recommendation on the basis of historical precedent and common practice, but did not make it a requirement because system administration is not within the scope of this standard.
