CDE
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 directory, /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

  /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>

      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.

      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
