FILE-HIERARCHY(7)               file-hierarchy               FILE-HIERARCHY(7)

NAME
       file-hierarchy - systemd file system hierarchy requirements

DESCRIPTION
       Operating systems using the systemd(1) system and service manager are
       organized based on a file system hierarchy inspired by UNIX, as
       described in UAPI.9 Linux File System Hierarchy[1]. Additional
       requirements on when given parts of the hierarchy must be available
       during boot are listed in Mount Requirements[2].

       Many of the paths described here can be queried with the systemd-
       path(1) tool.
