NAME
dtfilsys - CDE file system; directory tree structure

DESCRIPTION
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.

      /etc/dt/appconfig/appmanager/<Lang>
    		   /help/<Lang>
    		   /icons/<Lang>
    		   /types/<Lang>
    	 /backdrops/<Lang>
    	 /config
    	 /palettes/<Lang>
      /usr/dt/app-defaults/<Lang>
    	 /appconfig/appmanager/<Lang>
    		   /help/<Lang>
    		   /icons/<Lang>
    		   /types/<Lang>
    	 /bin
    	 /config
    	 /lib
    	/share/backdrops/<Lang>
    	      /include
    	      /examples
    	      /man
    	      /palettes/<Lang>
     /var/dt/appconfig/appmanager
     $HOME/.dt/appmanager
    	  /help
    	  /icons
    	  /palettes
    	  /sessions
    	  /types

The following guidelines apply to the contents of these directories:

    This directory is for use by the CDE system. Applications should never create files in this directory although they may read and execute them. This directory contains the localized versions of the app-defaults files for the CDE clients. This directory contains the localized versions of the actions files used by the Application Manager. This directory contains the localized versions of the CDE help volumes and help files. This directory contains the localized versions of the icons used by the CDE clients. This directory contains the localized versions of the actions and data types used by the CDE clients. This directory contains the CDE clients. This directory contains default configuration files. This directory contains the shared libraries used by the CDE clients. This directory contains CDE elements, typically ASCII files, that are independent of the architecture. This directory contains the localized versions of the backdrops used by the window manager workspaces and by the Style Manager. This directory contains examples of CDE functionality. This directory is part of the developmewnt environment and includes header files associated with CDE. This directory contains the man pages for the CDE clients. This directory contains the localized versions of the palettes used by the Style Manager to determine the color scheme. This directory is specified as the CDE configuration directory. This directory is used to hold system-administrator defined configuration files This directory is used to hold system-administrator defined configuration files for the Application Manager. This directory is used to hold system-administrator defined configuration files for the Help system. This directory is used to hold system-administrator defined configuration files for icons. This directory is used to hold system-administrator defined configuration files for the action and filetype database. This directory contains backdrops provided by the system administrator. This directory is to contain modified versions of the CDE configuration files (installed in /usr/dt/config). This directory contains palettes provided by the system administrator. This directory is used by CDE for some log files, temporary files, and files that vary in size. This directory is created at login and is used by the Application Manager. This directory contains information specific to the user. This directory is used to hold user-defined configuration files for the Application Manager. This directory is used to hold user-customized backdrops for the Style Manager. This directory is used to hold user-defined configuration files for the Help system. This directory is used to hold user-defined configuration files for icons. This directory is used to hold user-customized palettes for the Style Manager. This directory is used to store session information between CDE sessions. This directory is used to hold temporary information. This directory is used to hold user-defined configuration files for the action and filetypes database.
