Files in /usr/share/misc

[mj-mailinglist at gmx.de]

Thank you all for the input.

So, this directory is a little bit like the bottom drawer on my desk, where i put things, i don't know where to put else :)


the hier man page states:
misc/   miscellaneous system-wide ASCII text files

About half of the files are ASCII text, according to the file command.
The others are UTF-8, ISO-8859 or even binary. There seems a little bit of divergence from the "text" :)
