The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) defines the directory structure and directory contents in Linux operating systems. For the most part, it is a formalization and extension of the traditional BSD filesystem hierarchy.
The FHS is maintained by the Linux Foundation.
The current version is 2.3, announced on January 29, 2004.

Famous quotes containing the words hierarchy and/or standard:
“In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.”
—Laurence J. Peter (1919–1990)
“I don’t have any problem with a reporter or a news person who says the President is uninformed on this issue or that issue. I don’t think any of us would challenge that. I do have a problem with the singular focus on this, as if that’s the only standard by which we ought to judge a president. What we learned in the last administration was how little having an encyclopedic grasp of all the facts has to do with governing.”
—David R. Gergen (b. 1942)
