-/snap/bin                   - Symlinks to snap applications.
-/snap/<snapname>/<revision> - Mountpoint for snap content.
-/snap/<snapname>/current    - Symlink to current revision, if enabled.

-The disk space consumed by the content under this directory is
-minimal as the real snap content never leaves the .snap file.
