Directories Ending in .d
Today I learned about why directories in a project might have names ending in ‘dot d’, such as minion.d/.
Like many thinks in CS, there seem to be a few answers that may have inspired each other, and can both be true. It’s a marker for ‘directory’. It’s a directory of configurations that will be merged on startup.
In my current experience, both have been true. SALT contains directories of configurations, that on startup are combined into the program state. So, I’d expect that convention to hold in other such programs.
