10 .SH SYNOPSIS

19 .fi
21 .SH DESCRIPTION
22 .sp
23 .LP
24 The file system tree is organized for administrative convenience. Distinct
25 areas within the file system tree are provided for files that are private to
26 one machine, files that can be shared by multiple machines of a common
27 platform, files that can be shared by all machines, and home directories. This
28 organization allows sharable files to be stored on one machine but accessed by
29 many machines using a remote file access mechanism such as \fBNFS\fR. Grouping
30 together similar files makes the file system tree easier to upgrade and manage.
31 .sp
32 .LP
33 The file system tree consists of a root file system and a collection of
34 mountable file systems. The \fBmount\fR(2) program attaches mountable file
35 systems to the file system tree at mount points (directory entries) in the root
36 file system or other previously mounted file systems. Two file systems, \fB/\fR
37 (the root) and \fB/usr\fR, must be mounted and \fB/var\fR must be accessible to
38 have a functional system. The root file system is mounted automatically by the
39 kernel at boot time; the \fB/usr\fR file system is mounted by the system
40 start-up script, which is run as part of the booting process. \fB/var\fR can be
41 mounted as its own file system or be part of \fB/usr\fR, as it is by default.
42 .sp
43 .LP
44 Certain locations, noted below, are approved installation locations for bundled
45 Foundation Solaris software. In some cases, the approved locations for bundled
46 software are also approved locations for add-on system software or for
47 applications. The following descriptions make clear where the two locations
48 differ. For example, \fB/etc\fR is the installation location for
49 platform-dependent configuration files that are bundled with Solaris software.
50 The analogous location for applications is \fB/etc/opt/\fR\fIpackagename\fR.
51 .sp
52 .LP
53 In the following descriptions, \fIsubsystem\fR is a category of application or
54 system software, such as a window system (\fBdt\fR) or a language
55 (\fBjava1.2\fR)
56 .sp
57 .LP
58 The following descriptions make use of the terms \fBplatform\fR,
59 \fBplatform-dependent\fR, \fBplatform-independent\fR, and
60 \fBplatform-specific\fR. Platform refers to a machines Instruction Set
61 Architecture or processor type, such as is returned by \fBuname\fR \fB-i\fR.
62 \fBPlatform-dependent\fR refers to a file that is installed on all platforms
63 and whose contents vary depending on the platform. Like a platform-dependent
64 file, a \fBplatform-independent\fR file is installed on all platforms. However,
65 the contents of the latter type remains the same on all platforms. An example
66 of a platform-dependent file is compiled, executable program. An example of a
67 platform-independent file is a standard configuration file, such as
68 \fB/etc/hosts\fR. Unlike a platform-dependent or a platform-independent file,
69 the \fBplatform-specific\fR file is installed only on a subset of supported
70 platforms. Most platform-specific files are gathered under \fB/platform\fR and
71 \fB/usr/platform\fR.

74 In the following file or directory descriptions, GNOME stands for GNU Network
75 Object Model Environment. The GNOME Desktop is shipped with the Solaris
76 operating system.

1901 The file system mounted on \fB/usr\fR contains platform-dependent and
