NAME
hier - Explains the OSS file system hierarchy
DESCRIPTION
This reference page describes the file system hierarchy. Subdirectories (and some files) are listed
indented after the directory that they appear in.
/ Root directory of the local OSS file system.
/bin/ Utility program files, including system and internationalization utilities.
unsupported/ Utilities and scripts believed to function correctly but which
have not been thoroughly tested and therefore are not supported
by HP. Use these utilities and scripts at your own discretion and
risk. HP does not guarantee the behavior or performance of
these utilities and is not obligated to fix problems associated
with them.
/bin/unsupported/cat1/ contains reference page files for these
utilities when reference pages exist for them. Use the command
man -M /bin/unsupported utility-name to read these reference
pages.
/dev/ Device directory, which contains only two devices:
tty Current controlling terminal for the application that is running
null Data sink
/E/ Directories and files for OSS and Guardian file systems on remote NonStop
server nodes accessible through the Expand product. Do not mount filesets or
create files here.
/etc/ System configuration files (such as the default profile, termcap, and printcap
files) and sockets-related network configuration files (such as the site-modified
hosts, networks, protocols, and services files). These are not executable files.
install_obsolete/
Files containing lists of files from earlier releases that HP recom-
mends you remove from your system. These files can be used as
input for the Pcleanup utility.
/G/ Guardian files. For example, the Guardian file $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.SCF
($volume.subvolume.fileid) is stored as /G/system/system/scf.
Each Guardian volume is a separate fileset. Guardian environment processes
also appear in this directory. See the stat(2) reference page for additional infor-
mation.
/lost+found/ Files located by the fileset checking program of the OSS Monitor. These have
names of the form #inode_number, where inode_number identifies the inode
number that is associated with the recovered file within the OSS file system.
/nonnative/ Files for use with G-series TNS or accelerated applications.
bin/ G-series TNS or accelerated files corresponding to the native
files found in /bin/. The accelerated version of the c89 utility
and the TNS C compiler are located here on G-series systems.
