Filesystem Hierarchy Standard

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) defines the main directories and their contents in Linux operating systems. For the most part, it is a formalization and extension of the traditional BSD filesystem hierarchy. The FHS is maintained by the Free Standards Group, now the Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization consisting of major software and hardware vendors, such as HP, Red Hat, IBM and Dell. The current version is 2.3, announced on 29 January 2004.
