NAME
dtfilsys — CDE file system; directory tree structure

DESCRIPTION

The CDE file system is divided into three parts: the root system, /usr/pkg/dt, the configuration directory, /usr/pkg/etc/dt, and the temporary directory, /var/dt. The root system, /usr/pkg/dt, is a read-only directory. It contains all the files that comprise the CDE. The configuration directory, /usr/pkg/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/pkg/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/pkg/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/pkg/dt/app-defaults/&<Lang>
    This directory contains the localized versions of the app-defaults files for the CDE clients.

/usr/pkg/dt/appconfig/appmanager/&<Lang>
    This directory contains the localized versions of the actions files used by the Application Manager.

/usr/pkg/dt/appconfig/help/&<Lang>
    This directory contains the localized versions of the CDE help volumes and help files.

/usr/pkg/dt/appconfig/icons/&<Lang>
    This directory contains the localized versions of the icons used by the CDE clients.

/usr/pkg/dt/appconfig/types/&<Lang>
    This directory contains the localized versions of the actions and data types used by the CDE clients.

/usr/pkg/dt/bin
    This directory contains the CDE clients.

/usr/pkg/dt/config
    This directory contains default configuration files.

/usr/pkg/dt/lib
    This directory contains the shared libraries used by the CDE clients.

/usr/pkg/dt/share
    This directory contains CDE elements, typically ASCII files, that are independent of the architecture.

/usr/pkg/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/pkg/dt/share/examples
    This directory contains examples of CDE functionality.

/usr/pkg/dt/share/include
    This directory is part of the developmewnt environment and includes header files associated with CDE.

/usr/pkg/dt/share/man
    This directory contains the man pages for the CDE clients.

/usr/pkg/dt/share/palettes/&<Lang>
    This directory contains the localized versions of the palettes used by the Style Manager to determine the color scheme.

/usr/pkg/etc/dt
    This directory is specified as the CDE configuration directory.

/usr/pkg/etc/dt/appconfig
    This directory is used to hold system-administrator defined configuration files

/usr/pkg/etc/dt/appconfig/appmanager/&<Lang>
    This directory is used to hold system-administrator defined configuration files for the Application Manager.

/usr/pkg/etc/dt/appconfig/help/&<Lang>
    This directory is used to hold system-administrator defined configuration files for the Help system.

/usr/pkg/etc/dt/appconfig/icons/&<Lang>
    This directory is used to hold system-administrator defined configuration files for icons.

/usr/pkg/etc/dt/appconfig/types/&<Lang>
    This directory is used to hold system-administrator defined configuration files for the action and filetype database.

/usr/pkg/etc/dt/backdrops/&<Lang>
    This directory contains backdrops provided by the system administrator.

/usr/pkg/etc/dt/config
    This directory is to contain modified versions of the CDE configuration files (installed in /usr/pkg/dt/config).

/usr/pkg/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.

  The Minimum Runtime Environment

The minimum environment required for a system to support CDE consists of the following files and directories: /usr/pkg/dt/app-defaults/C/ tpad Dtksh Dtterm /usr/pkg/dt/appconfig/tttypes/ types.xdr /usr/pkg/dt/bin/ dsdm dtaction dtappgather dtappintegrate dtexec dtksh dtpad dtspcd dtterm suid_exec rpc.ttdbserver tt_type_comp ttsession
