 .LP
 .TP
+.B \fIDataDirectory\fP/cached-status/*
+The most recently downloaded network status document for each authority.  Each file holds one such document; the filenames are the hexadecimal identity key fingerprints of the directory authorities.
+.LP
+.TP
+.B \fIDataDirectory\fP/cached-routers/cached-routers.new
+These files hold downloaded router statuses.  Some routers may appear more than once; if so, the most recently published descriptor is used.  The ".new" file is an append-only journal; when it gets too large, all entries are merged into a new cached-routers file.
+.LP
+.TP
+.B \fIDataDirectory\fP/state
+A set of persistent key-value mappings.  These are documented in the file.  These include:
+.PD 0
+.RS 5
+.IP "- The current entry guards and their status."
+.IP "- The current bandwidth accounting values (unused so far; see below)."
+.IP "- When the file was last written"
+.IP "- What version of Tor generated the state file"
+.IP "- A short history of bandwidth usage, as produced in the router descriptors."

+.B \fIDataDirectory\fP/bw_accounting
+Used to track bandwidth accounting values (when the current period starts and ends; how much has been read and written so far this period).  Soon to be obsoleted by state.  Only used when bandwidth accounting is enabled.

+.B \fIDataDirectory\fP/control_auth_cookie
+Used for cookie authentication with the controller. Regenerated on startup.  See control-spec.txt for details.  Only used when cookie authentication is enabled.
