TLP Directories and Files

The global variable, BaseDirectory, is implicitly set to the TLP installation directory. This variable can be overridden. Note that all relative paths that are given are relative to the current working directory. The BaseDirectory location is /usr/local/tlp. You can define you own variables and refer these variables later. For example, if you define the DataDirectory in /usr/local/tlp, you can later use this directory as the SnapshotDirectory directory, $DataDirectory/repository.

Table 3–1 lists several key TLP directories and their contents.
