NAME

       dtfilsys -- CDE file system; directory tree structure

DESCRIPTION

       The  CDE  file system is divided into three parts: the root system, /usr/dt, the configuration directory, /etc/dt, and the temporary direc-
       tory, /var/dt. The root system, /usr/dt, is a read-only directory.  It contains all the files that comprise  the  CDE.	The  configuration
       directory,  /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/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.

	 /etc/dt/appconfig/appmanager/<Lang>
			  /help/<Lang>
			  /icons/<Lang>
			  /types/<Lang>
		/backdrops/<Lang>
		/config
		/palettes/<Lang>

	 /usr/dt/app-defaults/<Lang>
		/appconfig/appmanager/<Lang>
			  /help/<Lang>
			  /icons/<Lang>
			  /types/<Lang>
		/bin
		/config
		/lib
	       /share/backdrops/<Lang>
		     /include
		     /examples
		     /man
		     /palettes/<Lang>
	/var/dt/appconfig/appmanager

	$HOME/.dt/appmanager
		 /help
		 /icons
		 /palettes
		 /sessions
		 /types

       The following guidelines apply to the contents of these directories:

       /usr/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/dt/app-defaults/<Lang>
		 This directory contains the localized versions of the app-defaults files for the CDE clients.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       /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/dt/app-defaults/C/  tpad
       Dtksh  Dtterm  /usr/dt/appconfig/tttypes/  types.xdr /usr/dt/bin/ dsdm dtaction dtappgather dtappintegrate dtexec dtksh dtpad dtspcd dtterm
       suid_exec rpc.ttdbserver tt_type_comp ttsession
