339.It Pa uvm/
340Virtual memory manager.
341.El
342.It Pa tests/
343Source for test programs in
344.Pa /usr/tests .
345These tests use the
346.Xr atf 7
347test framework.
348For library routines, including system calls, the
349directory structure of the tests should follow the
350directory structure of the real source tree.
351For instance, interfaces available via the C
352library should follow:
353.Pa src/lib/libc/gen -> Pa src/tests/lib/libc/gen ,
354.Pa src/lib/libc/sys -> Pa src/tests/lib/libc/sys ,
355etc.
356Equivalently, all tests for userland utilities
357should try to follow their location in the source tree.
358If this can not be satisfied, the tests for
359a utility should be located under the directory to which
360the utility is installed.
361Thus, a test for
362.Xr env 1
363should go to
364.Pa src/tests/usr.bin/env .
365Likewise, a test for
366.Xr tcpdump 8
367should be in
368.Pa src/tests/usr.sbin/tcpdump ,
369even though the source code for the program is located under
370.Pa src/external .
371.It Pa tools/
372Reachover build structure for the host build tools.
373Every utility has its own directory, where its Makefile
374is located.
375.It Pa x11/
376Reachover build structure for X11R7; the source is in
377.Pa X11SRCDIR .
378The directory structure copies the system\'s;
379every directory contains a Makefile.
