What naming convention does mysql use for database files? Where does it put them?

MLH
I asked mysql to create a database named credifree (see below)
and later checked for filenames on the system like *credifree*
but I found nothing indicating that mysql created any filenames
like *credifree* - ideas as to why not?

From the captured screen-text below, you can see that the
credifree database does indeed exist...

mlh@appserver mlh $ mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 4 to server version: 4.0.22

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> use credifree
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A
