sub-directory of /usr description

[KCS_1]

hi,

Could you explain sub-directory description of /usr ??

what's contents and commands in those directory??

expecially, /usr/contrib,/usr/share, /usr/lbin



have a good day!

[Michael Tully]

The following directories are:

/usr/share:- documentation and man pages
/usr/contrib: contributions of programs from other sources
/usr/lbin: - programs used by sam and other progam subsystems

Generally /usr is considered one of two filesystems that contain operating system binaries and associated libraries and man pages.
/opt contains optional software from HP and other software that they was contained in a depot.

Typically a place where local utilities go

This directory contains a variety of general interest, course, and research UNIX software.

Hi Patrick:

A good overview of the filesystem layouts and compositions used by HP-UX can be found in the 'hier(5) man pages:

# man 5 hier

Amazing, no (further) response for over 7 hours and then two guys giving the same answer (within 3 minutes)! :-)

Warmest regards!
