Directory Structure of Linux

 

In Linux, the file system is organized in a hierarchical structure, starting from the root directory '/'. All other files and directories are located under the root directory. Some common directories include:

• /bin: Contains binary executables that are used by all users.
• /sbin: Contains binary executables that are used by the system administrator.
• /etc: Contains configuration files for the system and applications.
• /usr: Contains user-related files and programs, such as libraries and documentation.
• /var: Contains variable data, such as log files and mail spools.
• /tmp: Contains temporary files that are deleted when the system is rebooted.
• /home: Contains the home directories for individual users.

This is not an exhaustive list and the directory structure can vary depending on the Linux distribution.
