Description Gary Perkins 2020-02-27 18:31:40 UTC 
The hier manual page currently conforms to version 2.3 of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. In CONFORMING TO, it states this and includes a link to the Version 2.3 URL. 

However, the FHS specification was updated to 3.0 five years ago. The new specification appears to live at https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/fhs.shtml.
Comment 1 Thomas Piekarski 2020-05-13 09:02:27 UTC 
I'd like to take a look and provide a patch to update the manual page for filesystem hierarchy. I'll ask at the mailing list as well.
Comment 2 Michael Kerrisk 2020-05-20 06:00:49 UTC 
Since Thomas Piekarski's patch in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-man/c1c52c68-5fa1-246f-06c6-2bbe647c65ca@deloquencia.de/
has been applied, I think this bug can be closed, so I am doing so. Thanks, Thomas and Gary.
