Any given site will likely have more, but these are the “standard” ones. Note that these don’t necessarily have to be on different physical partitions due to the GNO namespace facility (see Q#7.3). This FAQ assumes the following directory structure: /HFSinclude GNO standard C header files (required if and only if /usr/include is not on an HFS partition) /bin basic standard programs /dev device drivers /etc configuration files /lang languages /lang/orca ORCA languages /lang/orca/languages compilers /lang/orca/libraries standard ORCA libraries (not used for GNO; see /lib instead) /lang/orca/libraries/orcacdefs standard ORCA/C header files /lang/orca/release.notes READMEs, release notes, etc /lang/orca/shell ORCA editor and ORCA/Shell config files /lang/orca/utilities ORCA/Shell compatible programs /lang/orca/utilities/help These are the ORCA utility help files, which show brief usage information.
