OSX: ./Users/myname OR. /usr/myname ? 1) what is the truth on UNIX ./usr/ directory.
OSX uses its own directory strecture on the BSD core, for example /Users/Bob_Alice/. but legacy Unix structure /usr/... remains. Adding confustion, some Unix books say /usr/ was never intended for specific users. and others show it being used for Bor or Alice. I am not sure where to put my third party apps on my Macbook, trying to keep my things as neat and simple as possible. Is there no real answer to any of this. Whatever works for each s/w package?

NAME
ld - link editor, dynamic link editor

OPTIONS
/usr/ucb/ld accepts the same options as /usr/bin/ld, with the following exceptions:
-Ldir Add dir to the list of directories searched for libraries by /usr/bin/ld. Directories specified with this option are searched
before /usr/ucblib and /usr/lib.
-Y LU,dir Change the default directory used for finding libraries.
This option can have unexpected results, and should not be used.
