16 ## Directory structure
18 The following list describes major files and directories that you'll see in
19 your working copy of the repository, including some directories that don't
20 exist until you've built Native Client. Paths are relative to the
21 `native_client` directory.
23 * `COPYING NOTICE README.md RELEASE_NOTES documentation/`: Documentation,
24 release, and license information.
26 * `SConstruct scons.bat scons scons-out/ site_scons/`: Build-related files.
27 The `scons.bat` and `scons` files, with data from `SConstruct`, let you
28 build Native Client and its tests. The `scons-out` and `site-scons`
29 directories don't exist in the git repository; they're created when Native
30 Client is built. The `scons-out/*/staging` directories contain files, such
31 as the Native Client plug-in and compiled examples, that let you use and
34 * `src/`: Core source code for Native Client.
36 * `src/include/`: Header files that are missing from some platforms and are
37 used by more than one major part of Native Client
39 * `src/shared/`: Source code that's used by both trusted code (such as the
40 service runtime) and untrusted code (such as Native Client modules)
42 * `src/third_party`: Other people's source code
44 * `src/trusted/`: Source code that's used only by trusted code
46 * `src/untrusted/`: Source code that's used only by untrusted code
48 * `tests/common/`: Source code for examples and tests.
50 * `../third_party/`: Third-party source code and binaries that aren't part of
51 the service runtime. When built, the Native Client toolchain is in
52 `src/third_party/nacl_sdk/`.
54 * `tools/`: Utilities such as the plug-in installer.
