Directory path conventions

Directory path conventions
Directory variables are abbreviations for the default installation paths for AIX , Linux™, and Microsoft™ Windows™. This topic defines the directory variable and its matching default installation directory for each supported operating system.
Notes:

The term Linux in this documentation includes the Linux for System z platform, unless otherwise specified.
Many examples of directory and file paths in this documentation use the UNIX™ '/' separator to denote AIX, Linux, and Windows path separators, even though the Windows convention is to use the '\' separator. Where applicable, substitute the '\' separator for the '/' separator.
