Operating Systems OS X (Apple) OSX: ./Users/myname OR. /usr/myname ? 1) what is the truth on UNIX ./usr/ directory. Post 303003440 by drl on Wednesday 13th of September 2017 05:25:05 PM

Hi.

There is no single place, noting that Jim makes a good point about system disks.

There are some generalizations, however:

1) I have had stuff that I have purchased ( e.g Canvas, TheBrain, etc.) go into /Applications,

2) I have had some stuff from the App Store go into /Applications/Utilities,

3) Things that may be user-contributed that come from brew, fink, and port seem to be distributed like this ( from a local search utility, in which we placed notes about destinations ):
Code:
 Results for program brew (key "b")
 ( brew writes to /usr/local )

 Results for program fink (key "f")
 ( fink writes to /sw )

 Results for program port (key "p")
 ( port writes to /opt/local )

On a system like:
Code:
OS, ker|rel, machine: Apple/BSD, Darwin 16.7.0, x86_64
Distribution        : macOS 10.12.6 (16G29), Sierra

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

Edit 1: correct minor typo.

NAME
nifti_stats - compute NIfTI statistical functions SYNOPSIS
nifti_stats [-q|-d|-1|-z] value CODE [p1 p2 p3] DESCRIPTION
nifti_stats supports several distributions (normal, uniform, logistic, chi, etc.) and calculates density or cummulative distribution func- tion (and many more). Values are printed to stdout and can be piped to other tools. value can be a single number or in the form bot:top:step. default ==> output p = Prob(statistic < val). -q ==> output is 1-p. -d ==> output is density. -1 ==> output is x such that Prob(statistic < x) = val. -z ==> output is z such that Normal cdf(z) = p(val). -h ==> output is z such that 1/2-Normal cdf(z) = p(val). Allowable CODEs: CORREL, TTEST, FTEST, ZSCORE, CHISQ, BETA, BINOM, GAMMA, POISSON, NORMAL, FTEST_NONC, CHISQ_NONC, LOGISTIC, LAPLACE, UNIFORM, TTEST_NONC, WEIBULL, CHI, INVGAUSS, EXTVAL, PVAL, LOGPVAL and LOG10PVAL Following CODE are distributional parameters, as needed. Results are written to stdout, 1 number per output line. EXAMPLE
Piping output into AFNI program 1dplot: nifti_stats -d 0:4:.001 INVGAUSS 1 3 | 1dplot -dx 0.001 -stdin SEE ALSO
