DFSP # 473 - Why all the BINs

  • Summary

  • BIN directories (short for binary) store command binaries like CD, PWD, LS, Vi, and CAT. Every platform has multiple BIN directories: two in the root directory and two in each user directory. This episode explains the types of files in these directories and the purpose of each BIN directory. I will also clarify which directories are typically used by users versus those used by the root user.
