The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) is a reference describing the conventions used for the layout of Unix-like systems. It has been made popular by its use in Linux distributions, but it is used by other Unix-like systems as well.1 The latest version of the standard, version 3.0, was originally released on 3 June 2015 by the Linux Foundation.2 It was republished on 6 November 2025 by FreeDesktop, which has since assumed maintenance of the specification.34
