The role of Linux directories

/Binbin is the abbreviation of binary. This directory inherits the structure of the UNIX system and stores the commands most often used by the user. such as CP, LS, cat, and so on. /boot here contains some of the core files used to start Linux. /Devdev is the abbreviation for device (devices). This directory is the external device for all Linux, which functions like the. SYS and the. vxd under Win in DOS. In Linux, devices and files are accessed in the same way. For example:/dev/HDA represents the first physical IDE hard disk. /etc This directory is used to store the configuration files and subdirectories required for system management. /Home User's home directory, such as a user named Wang, his home directory is/home/wang can also be used ~Wang said. /Lib This directory contains the system's most basic dynamic link sharing library, which acts like a. dll file in Windows. These shared libraries are required for almost all applications. /lost+found this directory is usually empty, when the system is not properly shut down, here is a number of homeless files refuge. Yes, a bit like the. chk file under DOS. /mnt This directory is empty, the system provides this directory is to let users temporarily mount other file system. /proc This directory is a virtual directory, it is the mapping of system memory, we can access this directory directly to obtain system information. In other words, the contents of this directory are not on the hard disk but in memory. /the home directory of the root system administrator (also known as the Super User).

It contains the following subdirectories;/usr/X11R6 Storage x-the directory of window;/usr/The bin holds many applications;/usr/Sbin Some of the management programs that are used by the super-users are here;/usr/Doc This is the base of the Linux documentation;/usr/Includelinux under development and compile the application needs header files, find here;/usr/Lib holds some common dynamic link shared libraries and static archives;/usr/Local This is provided to the general user/usr directory, where installation software is most suitable;/usr/Manman is a synonym for help in Linux, and here is the directory where the help documents are stored;/usr/Srclinux Open Source code on the existence of this directory, enthusiasts do not let go Oh!
