Linux - Filesystem Hierarchy Standard

"This standard enables:

*Software to predict the location of installed files and directories, and
*Users to predict the location of installed files and directories.

We do this by:

*Specifying guiding principles for each area of the filesystem,
*Specifying the minimum files and directories required,
*Enumerating exceptions to the principles, and
*Enumerating specific cases where there has been historical conflict."
