``cmd.fifo``
------------

FIFO file for pushing various commands to a running Station.  An example for changing the log level for a running Station is given in :ref:`Logging Setup`.


``version.txt``
---------------

File containing the package version of a Station in the form ``MAJOR.MINOR.REVISION``.  Based on this version information, the CUPS protocol decides whether an update is available (see :doc:`cupsproto`).


``{tc,cups}{,-bak,-boot,-temp}.{uri,trust,crt,key}``
----------------------------------------------------

``{tc,cups}-done.bak``
----------------------

``{tc,cups}-temp.{upd,cpy}``
----------------------------

Files related to credentials as described in :doc:`credentials`.


``update.bin``
--------------

Contains the update blob if available, received as a response from CUPS.  On Linux systems, this is a self-contained executable file comprising all files required for a generic update.  The update may include files for the Station itself or any other system-wide updates, depending on the permissions.  If the corresponding signature matches, the ``update.bin`` file is executed by the Station.


``update.bi\_``
---------------

Temporary file containing a partial update blob during a CUPS interaction.  Upon completion of the CUPS interaction, the complete blob is written to ``update.bin``.


``station.conf``
----------------

The main configuration file for a Station as described in :doc:`conf`.


``slave-*N*.conf``
------------------

Configuration files for a single Station operating multiple radio boards as described in :doc:`conf`.


``~temp/station.pid``
---------------------

Station process identifier.

``~temp/station.log``
