In typesetting software, TeX Directory Structure (TDS) is a directory hierarchy for macros, fonts, and the other implementation-independent TeX system files. The top-level directories are

Directory Description
tex TeX files (including LaTeX and other macro packages)
bibtex BibTeX files
doc user documentation
fonts font-related files
metafont METAFONT files
metapost MetaPost files
scripts platform-independent executables
source sources

TDS is used by several TeX distributions, including teTeX, TeX Live and MiKTeX.
