Fallback location for torrc, if @CONFDIR@/torrc is not found.

**@LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/tor/**::
**`@LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/tor/`**::
The tor process stores keys and other data here.


__CacheDirectory__**/cached-certs**::
__CacheDirectory__/**`cached-certs`**::
Contains downloaded directory key certificates that are used to verify
authenticity of documents generated by the Tor directory authorities.

__CacheDirectory__**/cached-consensus** and/or **cached-microdesc-consensus**::
__CacheDirectory__/**`cached-consensus`** and/or **`cached-microdesc-consensus`**::
The most recent consensus network status document we've downloaded.

__CacheDirectory__**/cached-descriptors** and **cached-descriptors.new**::
__CacheDirectory__/**`cached-descriptors`** and **`cached-descriptors.new`**::
These files contain the downloaded router statuses. Some routers may appear
more than once; if so, the most recently published descriptor is
used. Lines beginning with **`@`**-signs are annotations that contain more
information about a given router. The **`.new`** file is an append-only
journal; when it gets too large, all entries are merged into a new
cached-descriptors file.

__CacheDirectory__**/cached-extrainfo** and **cached-extrainfo.new**::
__CacheDirectory__/**`cached-extrainfo`** and **`cached-extrainfo.new`**::
Similar to **cached-descriptors**, but holds optionally-downloaded
"extra-info" documents. Relays use these documents to send inessential
information about statistics, bandwidth history, and network health to the
authorities. They aren't fetched by default. See the DownloadExtraInfo
option for more information.

__CacheDirectory__**/cached-microdescs** and **cached-microdescs.new**::
__CacheDirectory__/**`cached-microdescs`** and **`cached-microdescs.new`**::
These files hold downloaded microdescriptors. Lines beginning with
**`@`**-signs are annotations that contain more information about a given
router. The **`.new`** file is an append-only journal; when it gets too
large, all entries are merged into a new cached-microdescs file.

__DataDirectory__**/state**::
__DataDirectory__/**`state`**::
Contains a set of persistent key-value mappings. These include:
- the current entry guards and their status.
- the current bandwidth accounting values.

- a short history of bandwidth usage, as produced in the server
descriptors.

__DataDirectory__**/sr-state**::
__DataDirectory__/**`sr-state`**::
_Authority only_. This file is used to record information about the current
status of the shared-random-value voting state.

__CacheDirectory__**/diff-cache**::
__CacheDirectory__/**`diff-cache`**::
_Directory cache only_. Holds older consensuses and diffs from oldest to
the most recent consensus of each type compressed in various ways. Each
file contains a set of key-value arguments describing its contents,
followed by a single NUL byte, followed by the main file contents.

__DataDirectory__**/bw_accounting**::
__DataDirectory__/**`bw_accounting`**::
This file is obsolete and the data is now stored in the **`state`** file
instead. Used to track bandwidth accounting values (when the current period
starts and ends; how much has been read and written so far this period).

__DataDirectory__**/control_auth_cookie**::
__DataDirectory__/**`control_auth_cookie`**::
This file can be used only when cookie authentication is enabled. Used for
cookie authentication with the controller. Location can be overridden by
the `CookieAuthFile` configuration option. Regenerated on startup. See
control-spec.txt in https://spec.torproject.org/[torspec] for details.

__DataDirectory__**/lock**::
__DataDirectory__/**`lock`**::
This file is used to prevent two Tor instances from using the same data
directory. If access to this file is locked, data directory is already in
use by Tor.

__DataDirectory__**/key-pinning-journal**::
__DataDirectory__/**`key-pinning-journal`**::
Used by authorities. A line-based file that records mappings between
RSA1024 and Ed25519 identity keys. Authorities enforce these mappings, so
that once a relay has picked an Ed25519 key, stealing or factoring the
RSA1024 key will no longer let an attacker impersonate the relay.

__KeyDirectory__**/authority_identity_key**::
__KeyDirectory__/**`authority_identity_key`**::
A v3 directory authority's master identity key, used to authenticate its
signing key. Tor doesn't use this while it's running. The tor-gencert
program uses this. If you're running an authority, you should keep this key
offline, and not put it in this file.

__KeyDirectory__**/authority_certificate**::
__KeyDirectory__/**`authority_certificate`**::
Only directory authorities use this file. A v3 directory authority's
certificate which authenticates the authority's current vote- and
consensus-signing key using its master identity key.

__KeyDirectory__**/authority_signing_key**::
__KeyDirectory__/**`authority_signing_key`**::
Only directory authorities use this file. A v3 directory authority's
signing key that is used to sign votes and consensuses. Corresponds to the
**authority_certificate** cert.

__KeyDirectory__**/legacy_certificate**::
__KeyDirectory__/**`legacy_certificate`**::
As authority_certificate; used only when `V3AuthUseLegacyKey` is set. See
documentation for V3AuthUseLegacyKey.

__KeyDirectory__**/legacy_signing_key**::
__KeyDirectory__/**`legacy_signing_key`**::
As authority_signing_key: used only when `V3AuthUseLegacyKey` is set. See
documentation for V3AuthUseLegacyKey.

__KeyDirectory__**/secret_id_key**::
__KeyDirectory__/**`secret_id_key`**::
A relay's RSA1024 permanent identity key, including private and public
components. Used to sign router descriptors, and to sign other keys.

__KeyDirectory__**/ed25519_master_id_public_key**::
__KeyDirectory__/**`ed25519_master_id_public_key`**::
The public part of a relay's Ed25519 permanent identity key.

__KeyDirectory__**/ed25519_master_id_secret_key**::
__KeyDirectory__/**`ed25519_master_id_secret_key`**::
The private part of a relay's Ed25519 permanent identity key. This key is
used to sign the medium-term ed25519 signing key. This file can be kept
offline or encrypted. If so, Tor will not be able to generate new signing
keys automatically; you'll need to use `tor --keygen` to do so.

__KeyDirectory__**/ed25519_signing_secret_key**::
__KeyDirectory__/**`ed25519_signing_secret_key`**::
The private and public components of a relay's medium-term Ed25519 signing
key. This key is authenticated by the Ed25519 master key, which in turn
authenticates other keys (and router descriptors).

__KeyDirectory__**/ed25519_signing_cert**::
__KeyDirectory__/**`ed25519_signing_cert`**::
The certificate which authenticates "ed25519_signing_secret_key" as having
been signed by the Ed25519 master key.

__KeyDirectory__**/secret_onion_key** and **secret_onion_key.old**::
__KeyDirectory__/**`secret_onion_key`** and **`secret_onion_key.old`**::
A relay's RSA1024 short-term onion key. Used to decrypt old-style ("TAP")
circuit extension requests. The **`.old`** file holds the previously
generated key, which the relay uses to handle any requests that were made
by clients that didn't have the new one.

__KeyDirectory__**/secret_onion_key_ntor** and **secret_onion_key_ntor.old**::
__KeyDirectory__/**`secret_onion_key_ntor`** and **`secret_onion_key_ntor.old`**::
A relay's Curve25519 short-term onion key. Used to handle modern ("ntor")
circuit extension requests. The **`.old`** file holds the previously
generated key, which the relay uses to handle any requests that were made
by clients that didn't have the new one.

__DataDirectory__**/fingerprint**::
__DataDirectory__/**`fingerprint`**::
Only used by servers. Contains the fingerprint of the server's identity key.

__DataDirectory__**/hashed-fingerprint**::
__DataDirectory__/**`hashed-fingerprint`**::
Only used by bridges. Contains the hashed fingerprint of the bridge's
identity key. (That is, the hash of the hash of the identity key.)

__DataDirectory__**/approved-routers**::
__DataDirectory__/**`approved-routers`**::
Only used by authoritative directory servers. This file lists the status of
routers by their identity fingerprint. Each line lists a status and a
fingerprint separated by whitespace. See your **`fingerprint`** file in the

__DataDirectory__/**`unparseable-desc`**::
Onion server descriptors that Tor was unable to parse are dumped to this

__DataDirectory__**/stats/hidserv-stats**::
__DataDirectory__/**`stats/hidserv-stats`**::

of what fraction of the traffic is hidden service rendezvous traffic, and
approximately how many hidden services the relay has seen.

__DataDirectory__**/networkstatus-bridges**::
