## Appendix F. FTR File Directories

There are four possible files in which Desktop file types are defined. They are listed here in the order the Desktop scans them:

1. `/usr/lib/filetype/local`

2. `/usr/lib/filetype/install`

3. `/usr/lib/filetype/system`

4. `/usr/lib/filetype/default`

These files are listed in order of precedence. For example, a file type defined in the `/usr/lib/filetype/install` directory overrides a file type of the same name in the `/usr/lib/filetype/system` and `/usr/lib/filetype/default` directories.

In particular, Silicon Graphics uses the `/usr/lib/filetype/system` and `/usr/lib/filetype/default` directories to define and maintain system standards. Be especially careful not to override important defaults set in these directories.
