file-hierarchy - systemd file system hierarchy requirements
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.
