When one has installed a library and look at what its repository contain, he may find something like that:
repo/
- bin/
- lib/
- share/
What the “share” repository should contain in general? Are there other types of subdirectories?
Thanks!

Answer
The “share” word is used because what is under /usr/share is platform independent, and can be shared among several machines across a network filesystem. Therefore this is the place for manuals, documentations, examples etc.
