The UNIX Filesystem Hierarchy Standard

Ever wonder about /usr/bin/local or /var/tmp? The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard - Version 2.2 final is a wonderful resource, edited by Rusty Russel and Daniel Quinlan.
Abstract

This standard consists of a set of requirements and guidelines for file and directory placement under UNIX-like operating systems. The guidelines are intended to support interoperability of applications, system administration tools, development tools, and scripts as well as greater uniformity of documentation for these systems.
