The structure of FTS follows Linux standards as closely as possible. The primary standards are:
- POSIX.1-2008.
- Filesystem Hierarchy Standard version 3.0 Draft 1 (FHS)
- Linux Standard Base (LSB) SpecificationsThe LSB has five separate standards: Core, C++, Desktop, Runtime Languages, and Printing. In addition to generic requirements there are also architecture specific requirements. FTS attempts to conform to the architectures discussed in the previous section.
