Convention for Paths to Product Files

The product described in the present document is designed for operation in different UNIX-based operating system. Real paths to product files depend on the operating system installed on the user’s computer. For notational convenience, the following conventions are used:

<opt_dir>—directory where main product files are located (including executable files and libraries).

<etc_dir>—directory where the configuration file and a key file are located.

<var_dir>—directory where supporting and temporary product files are located.

Real paths corresponding to the conventions in different operating systems are given in the table below.
