NAME [Toc] [Back]
dtfilsys - CDE file system; directory tree structure
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
The CDE file system is divided into three parts: the root system,
/usr/dt, the configuration directory, /etc/dt, and the temporary
directory, /var/dt. The root system, /usr/dt, is a read-only
directory. It contains all the files that comprise the CDE. The
configuration directory, /etc/dt, is the directory CDE applications
will search to locate configuration files that have been modified by
the system administrator. Default versions of these configuration
files are typically located in /usr/dt. The temporary directory,
/var/dt, contains temporary information or information that varies in
size and existence. Below is a diagram of the directory tree
structure for CDE.

The following guidelines apply to the contents of these directories:
/usr/dt This directory is for use by the CDE system. Applications
should never create files in this directory although they
may read and execute them.
