Talk:Directory structure

I am still not sure what a directory stucture means and what a example would look like?

unix doesn't use fhs, some linux does
I don't think unix-like systems in general use the file system hierarchy standard. As I understand, that is a linuxism. Better references needed. For example, https://man.netbsd.org/hier.7 https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=hier https://man.openbsd.org/hier are current man pages of main BSDs that are certainly unixes, that both predate and doesn't even mention the fhs. The FHS from 1994 at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/fsstnd/old/fsstnd-1.0/FSSTND-FAQ seem to refer to itself as "the Linux FSSTND project". It is stated elsewhere that the unix hier(7) man page dates back to 1979. It looks like a more accurate guess that the FHS aims to be seen as a standard for unixes whereas in reality it is written by and for Linux and is not followed even by Linuxes. For example in ubuntu there is a /run directory but it is not in ths FHS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4C4C:2293:A00:14F5:8E18:C45A:2E4D (talk) 17:03, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
