Boost libraries reside in subdirectories under the `libs` directory. For example, the contents of the boost:filesystem[] library are in `libs/filesystem.` This includes the build scripts (in l`ibs/filesystem/build`), the source files (in `libs/filesystem/src`), the tests (in `libs/filesystem/test`), the documentation (in `libs/filesystem/doc`), and so on.
