+TeX directory structure
+=======================
+
+ This section describes the default installation hierarchy of the
+distribution. It conforms to both the GNU coding standards and the TeX
+directory structure (TDS) standard. For rationale and further
+explanation, please see those documents. The GNU standard is available
+as `ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/standards/standards.texi' and
+mirrors. The TDS document is available from `CTAN:/tex-archive/tds'
+(*note unixtex.ftp::.).
+
+ You can change the default paths in many ways (*note Changing search
+paths::.). One common desire is to put everything (binaries and all)
+under a single top-level directory such as `/usr/local/texmf' or
+`/opt/texmf'--in the terms used below, make PREFIX and TEXMF the same.
+For specific instructions on doing that, see *Note configure
+scenarios::.
+
+ Here is a skeleton of the default directory structure, extracted from
+the TDS document:
+
+ PREFIX/ installation root (`/usr/local' by default)
+ bin/ executables
+ man/ man pages
+ include/ C header files
+ info/ GNU info files
+ lib/ libraries (`libkpathsea.*')
+ share/ architecture-independent files
+ texmf/ TDS root
+ bibtex/ BibTeX input files
+ bib/ BibTeX databases
+ base/ base distribution (e.g., `xampl.bib')
+ misc/ single-file databases
+ PKG/ name of a package
+ bst/ BibTeX style files
+ base/ base distribution (e.g., `plain.bst', `acm.bst')
+ misc/ single-file styles
+ PKG/ name of a package
+ doc/ additional documentation
+ dvips/ `.pro', `.ps', `psfonts.map'
+ fonts/ font-related files
+ TYPE/ file type (e.g., `tfm', `pk')
+ MODE/ type of output device (types `pk' and `gf' only)
+ SUPPLIER/ name of a font supplier (e.g., `public')
+ TYPEFACE/ name of a typeface (e.g., `cm')
+ dpiNNN/ font resolution (types `pk' and `gf' only)
+ metafont/ Metafont (non-font) input files
+ base/ base distribution (e.g., `plain.mf')
+ misc/ single-file packages (e.g., `modes.mf')
+ PKG/ name of a package (e.g., `mfpic')
+ metapost/ MetaPost input files
+ base/ base distribution (e.g., `plain.mp')
+ misc/ single-file packages
+ PKG/ name of a package
+ support/ support files for MetaPost-related utilities (e.g., `trfonts.map')
+ mft/ `MFT' inputs (e.g., `plain.mft')
+ tex/ TeX input files
+ FORMAT/ name of a format (e.g., `plain')
+ base/ base distribution for FORMAT (e.g., `plain.tex')
+ misc/ single-file packages (e.g., `webmac.tex')
+ local/ local additions to or local configuration files for FORMAT
+ PKG/ name of a package (e.g., `graphics', `mfnfss')
+ generic/ format-independent packages
+ hyphen/ hyphenation patterns (e.g., `hyphen.tex')
+ images/ image input files (e.g., Encapsulated PostScript)
+ misc/ single-file format-independent packages (e.g., `null.tex').
+ PKG/ name of a package (e.g., `babel')
+ web2c/ implementation-dependent files (`.pool', `.fmt', `texmf.cnf', etc.)
+
+ Some concrete examples for most file types:
+
+ /usr/local/bin/tex
+ /usr/local/man/man1/xdvi.1
+ /usr/local/info/kpathsea.info
+ /usr/local/lib/libkpathsea.a
