Which of the following files does the /var directory NOT contain?
A.
System log files
B.
Kernel files
C.
Email-spools
D.
Print spools
Explanation:
Kernel files do not change regularly and therefore are contained in the /boot directory, not in the
/var directory.
What is the /var directory?
According to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, the /var directory contains regularly-changing
system files. This comprises spool directories and files, and administrative and logging data.
Answer option A is incorrect. System log files are stored in the /var directory.
Answer options D and C are incorrect. Print spool files and email-spools are variable data files and
therefore are contained in the /var directory.
