hello, what does the tessdata directory mean? is it possible to delete and where to find a manual about all the necessary FreeBSD system files?

hello, what does the tessdata directory mean?

Without context it's impossible to tell. Might be a directory that was created by or for a specific application. Not part of the 'standard' FreeBSD install in any case.

where to find a manual about all the necessary FreeBSD system files?

hier(7) is a good start. But generally speaking anything installed in /usr/local/ is not part of the base OS.

So I'll delete it. I'm looking for something that took just about a gigabyte of space. I'm looking at a directory not familiar in /usr/local/share/tessdata


I will use the link to study the information ..

As it's in /usr/local/ this implies it's been installed by a third party application (a port or package), you can use pkg which /usr/local/share/tessdata to figure out which port or package installed it. See pkg-which(8).

 

[covacat]

find /usr/ports/ -name pkg-plist|xargs grep tessda

/usr/ports/graphics/tesseract/pkg-plist:%%TOOLS%%bin/combine_tessdata
/usr/ports/graphics/tesseract/pkg-plist:man/man1/combine_tessdata.1.gz

figure out which port or package installed it.

Most likely graphics/tesseract

 

[SirDice]

find /usr/ports/ -name pkg-plist|xargs grep tessda

Useful but keep in mind that not all ports will have a pkg-plist file (some ports use a dynamically generated plist).
