Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
This directory contains variable data not placed in a subdirectory in /var/state.
An attempt should be made to use relatively unique names in this directory to avoid
namespace conflicts.
Note that this hierarchy should contain files stored in /var/db in current
BSD releases. These include locate.database and mountdtab, and
the kernel symbol database(s).
