An essential truth about PASE and even z/OS USS is that IBM is not and cannot be committed to documenting Unix and all its customary kinks.

There's 50 years of documentation out there on the web and some stuff you just gotta know. Sux but we're programmers, right?!

Subject: Re: Who clears /tmp regularly

So I dug in and find there is no mention of the /var directory in the
PDF about the IFS - there's a chapter called *Provided directories*, so
we who even read that manual would not have heard of the distinctive use
that Linux/Unix admins might be familiar with.

Interestingly, I did see references to /var in some links to IBM z.
