Hi, Bridger
user specific configuration files on Linux systems are stored in the
user's home directory in a file that starts with '.' character (a "dot
file"). If an application needs to create more than one dot file then
they should be placed
in a subdirectory with a name starting with a ’.’ character, (a "dot
directory"). In this case the configuration files
should not start with the ’.’ character.
Applications must never create or require special files or
subdirectories in the root directory. Other locations in
the FHS hierarchy provide more than enough flexibility for any package.
Check http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ for more answers.
Best!
