Message-ID: <20010319164847.F1E7A199F8@mail.cse.psu.edu> (raw)
The original ideas for /lib and /sys/lib were that /lib would be a
"library" of general stuff, while /sys/lib would be things that
directly supported a particular application. Dictionaries are in
/lib, troff macros in /sys/lib. The distinction is hard to draw
sometimes and wasn't followed a lot of the time, but it is still
useful.
