.SH NAME
afs \- Introduction to AFS files
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
A number of files must reside on the local disk of AFS server and client
machines. They belong to the following general categories:
.IP \(bu 4
\&\fIConfiguration files\fR define configuration parameters for specific server
and kernel processes such as the Backup System Tape Coordinator or the
Cache Manager.
.IP \(bu 4
\&\fIAdministrative files\fR list information used in administration of server
machines, such as a list of privileged users or server encryption keys.
.IP \(bu 4
\&\fICache-related files\fR contain cached data or information about cached
data, on client machines.
.IP \(bu 4
\&\fILog files\fR contain tracing messages about the operation of a specific
process.
.IP \(bu 4
\&\fIDatabase files\fR contain database records used to administer the AFS
cell.
.IP \(bu 4
\&\fIController files\fR control the behavior of a process.
.IP \(bu 4
\&\fIVolume header files\fR represent AFS volumes on server partitions.
.PP
For a description of the format and contents of each file, see its
reference page.
.PP
Note for Windows users: Some files described in this document possibly do
not exist on machines that run a Windows operating system. Also, Windows
uses a backslash (\f(CW\*(C`\e\*(C'\fR) rather than a forward slash (\f(CW\*(C`/\*(C'\fR) to separate the
elements in a pathname.
