A/UX: System Software Folders Under /mac/sys (8/93)


There are three different folders for System Software under /mac/sys. What
are the corresponding roles of each?

* The "Login System Folder" is where the A/UX Login Dialog resource is
kept.

* The "Startup System Folder" is where the "A/UX Startup" initialization
resource (the environment to start up, mac24 or mac32 and so on) is kept.

* The "System Folder" is where System Software (like CDEVs, INITs, and so
on) is stored, much like the Macintosh OS System Folder.
