.It Pa dist/
Utilities.
Every utility has its own subdirectory,
where its source and Makefile are located.

.It Pa compat/
A framework to (re)build the libraries
shipped with
.Nx
for different ABI than the default for
that platform.
.Bl -tag -width "compat/<arch1>/<arch2>/" -compact
.It Pa compat/<arch1>/<arch2>/
Every
.Pa compat/<arch1>/<arch2>/
directory contains a Makefile and a makefile
fragment for building an
.Pa <arch2>
compat libraries for
.Pa <arch1> .
For example,
.Pa compat/amd64/i386/
is where the 32-bit compat libraries for the
amd64 port are being built.

The list of subdirectories (the libraries and
ld.elf_so) to build with this ABI.

.It etc.
Such subdirectories contain reachover Makefiles,
README's and various import helper scripts.

sources licensed under Public Domain
license;
.Pa external/public-domain/sqlite/dist/
contains original sources;

.Pa external/public-domain/sqlite/lib/
and
.Pa external/public-domain/sqlite/
itself contain reachover Makefiles.
.El
.It Pa games/

and some scripts for them.

.It Pa libexec/
Source for utilities in
.Pa /usr/libexec .

and Makefiles.
.It Pa regress/

once they are migrated to the
.Xr atf 7
test framework.
.It Pa rescue/

.Pa /rescue .
.It Pa share/

currently.
.It Pa sys/
Header files that get installed into
.Pa /usr/include/sys .
.It Pa ufs/
UFS file system driver.
.It Pa uvm/
Virtual memory manager.
.El
.It Pa tests/
Source for test programs in
.Pa /usr/tests .
These tests use the
.Xr atf 7
test framework.
For library routines, including system calls, the
directory structure of the tests should follow the
directory structure of the real source tree.
For instance, interfaces available via the C
library should follow:
.Pa src/lib/libc/gen -> Pa src/tests/lib/libc/gen ,
.Pa src/lib/libc/sys -> Pa src/tests/lib/libc/sys ,
etc.
Equivalently, all tests for userland utilities
should try to follow their location in the source tree.
If this can not be satisfied, the tests for
a utility should be located under the directory to which
the utility is installed.
Thus, a test for
.Xr env 1
should go to
.Pa src/tests/usr.bin/env .
Likewise, a test for
.Xr tcpdump 8
should be in
.Pa src/tests/usr.sbin/tcpdump ,
even though the source code for the program is located under
.Pa src/external .
.It Pa tools/
Reachover build structure for the host build tools.
Every utility has its own directory, where its Makefile
is located.
.It Pa x11/
Reachover build structure for X11R7; the source is in
.Pa X11SRCDIR .
The directory structure copies the system\'s;
every directory contains a Makefile.
