::<code>/include</code>
|Stores the development headers used throughout the system. [[Header file]]s are mostly used by the <code>#include</code> directive in [[C (programming language)|C]] language, which historically is how the name of this directory was chosen.

::<code>/lib</code>
|Stores the needed libraries and data files for programs stored within <code>/usr</code> or elsewhere.

::<code>/share</code>
|Architecture-independent program data. On Linux and modern BSD derivatives, this directory has subdirectories such as <code>man</code> for [[manpage]]s, that used to appear directly under <code>/usr</code> in older versions.
