Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
This directory contains any non-essential binaries used exclusively by
the system administrator. System administration programs that are
required for system repair, system recovery, mounting /usr, or
other essential functions must be placed in /sbin instead.[footnote 24]
[24] Locally installed system administration programs should be placed in
/usr/local/sbin.
