Directory Description

/ Primary hierarchy root & root directory of the entire file system hierarchy

/bin Essential command binaries for all users, e.g., cat, ls, cp.

/boot Static files of the boot loader e.g., kernels, initrd; often separate partition

/dev Essential Device files /dev/ttyX, /dev/hdaX

/etc Host-specific system-wide configuration files /etc/bashrc

/home Users' home directories - saved files, personal settings, etc

/lib Essential shared libraries and kernel modules

/media Mount point for removeable media such as CD-ROMs


Defines the main directories and their contents in most software systems

using UNIX and Unix-like operating systems


Directory Description

/mnt Mount point for mounting a filesystem temporarily

/opt Add-on/Optional application software packages

/proc Virtual filesystem documenting kernel and process status as text files, e.g., uptime, network

/root Home directory for the root user
