It says "Files under this directory", not "Files and directories under |
| 20 |
this directory." |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Futhermore is continues with, |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
"Programs may have a subdirectory of /var/run; this is encouraged for |
| 25 |
programs that use more than one run-time file." |
| 26 |
|
