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.

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.
/usr/dt/app-defaults/<Lang>
This directory contains the localized versions of the app-defaults files for the CDE clients.
/usr/dt/appconfig/appmanager/<Lang>
This directory contains the localized versions of the actions files used by the Application Manager.
/usr/dt/appconfig/help/<Lang>
This directory contains the localized versions of the CDE help volumes and help files.
/usr/dt/appconfig/icons/<Lang>
This directory contains the localized versions of the icons used by the CDE clients.
/usr/dt/appconfig/types/<Lang>
This directory contains the localized versions of the actions and data types used by the CDE clients.
/usr/dt/bin This directory contains the CDE clients.
/usr/dt/config
This directory contains default configuration files.
/usr/dt/lib This directory contains the shared libraries used by the CDE clients.
/usr/dt/share This directory contains CDE elements, typically ASCII files, that are independent of the architecture.
/usr/dt/share/backdrops/<Lang>
This directory contains the localized versions of the backdrops used by the window manager workspaces and by the Style Manager.
/usr/dt/share/examples
This directory contains examples of CDE functionality.
/usr/dt/share/include
This directory is part of the developmewnt environment and includes header files associated with CDE.
/usr/dt/share/man
This directory contains the man pages for the CDE clients.
/usr/dt/share/palettes/<Lang>
This directory contains the localized versions of the palettes used by the Style Manager to determine the color scheme.
/etc/dt This directory is specified as the CDE configuration directory.
/etc/dt/appconfig
This directory is used to hold system-administrator defined configuration files
/etc/dt/appconfig/appmanager/<Lang>
This directory is used to hold system-administrator defined configuration files for the Application Manager.
/etc/dt/appconfig/help/<Lang>
This directory is used to hold system-administrator defined configuration files for the Help system.
/etc/dt/appconfig/icons/<Lang>
This directory is used to hold system-administrator defined configuration files for icons.
/etc/dt/appconfig/types/<Lang>
This directory is used to hold system-administrator defined configuration files for the action and filetype database.
/etc/dt/backdrops/<Lang>
This directory contains backdrops provided by the system administrator.
/etc/dt/config
This directory is to contain modified versions of the CDE configuration files (installed in /usr/dt/config).
/etc/dt/palettes/<Lang>
This directory contains palettes provided by the system administrator.
/var/dt This directory is used by CDE for some log files, temporary files, and files that vary in size.
/var/dt/appconfig/appmanager
This directory is created at login and is used by the Application Manager.
$HOME/.dt This directory contains information specific to the user.
$HOME/.dt/appmanager
This directory is used to hold user-defined configuration files for the Application Manager.
$HOME/.dt/backdrops
This directory is used to hold user-customized backdrops for the Style Manager.
$HOME/.dt/help
This directory is used to hold user-defined configuration files for the Help system.
$HOME/.dt/icons
This directory is used to hold user-defined configuration files for icons.
$HOME/.dt/palettes
This directory is used to hold user-customized palettes for the Style Manager.
$HOME/.dt/sessions
This directory is used to store session information between CDE sessions.
$HOME/.dt/tmp
This directory is used to hold temporary information.
$HOME/.dt/types
This directory is used to hold user-defined configuration files for the action and filetypes database.
