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
