	Filename extension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Filename extensions have been in use for decades, but they have gained common usage because the file systems included with DOS and Windows had severe limitations on filenames for many years, which strongly encouraged the use of filename extensions.
		Filename extensions can be considered as a type of metadata, though one of the most visible pieces of such information on modern computer systems.
		The DEC operating systems internally split the filename into a "base name" and a filename extension, with the "base name" limited to five to eight characters and the extension limited to two or three characters; when a filename/filename extension combination was typed in commands, a period (.) was placed between the filename and filename extension.

	Filename extension - ArticleWorld
		Filename extensions are basically a type of metadata for this system and many of its managers.
		The extension is typically three characters long, mostly due to historical limitations (the early filesystem could only use files with names up to 8 characters long a 3 characters extension, known as the 8.3 convention).
		Extensions have also been the source of many security risks.This happened due to the fact that many file managers choose to hide a file's extension from the user, to prevent the case where the extension is accidentally removed while renaming the file.

	Filename - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A filename is a special kind of string used to uniquely identify a file stored on a computer.
		In Windows the space and the period are not allowed as the final character of a filename.
		The period isn't allowed either as the first character of a filename when creating or renaming a file from the Explorer (despite this convention being used in Unix-like systems to describe hidden files and directories), althrough there are possible ways to circumvent this (for instance, saving a file from Notepad with the desired name).

	Security and Filename Extensions
		While Windows uses the extension to decide with which program to open each file, those programs themselves, in many cases use the header of the file itself (the first few data in the file) rather than the filename extension to identify its nature.
		Windows does not associate its extension with a program that opens it or a way to open it), might still be opened according to the header of the file (the first few bytes in the body of the file).
		While using the extensions to identify whether the file we wish to open can safely be opened, is a common method, most people are not aware of all complications that this method has.

	File Extension (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The extension to the filename is the way you can identify which files were created by which programs, what the purpose of the file is, or in some cases, both.
		In some cases, the filename extension will give you a hint about the use of the file (*.HLP=help) and in other cases, about the creator of the file.
		These are a few sample 'extensions, including what they are and in some cases, the program they are 'associated' with.

		For example, a text editor for.txt, a word processor for.doc, a web browser for.htm or.html, PDF viewer or editor for.pdf, a graphics program for.png,.gif or, a spreadsheet program for.xls, etc. Some extensions, including.exe,.com,.bat, and.cmd, indicate that the file itself may be executed under Windows.
		The first part, consisting of up to eight characters, was generally called the filename or the base name, while the up to three remaining characters constituted the extension.
		In fact, Unix does not internally know about filename extensions, and just treats the '.' as a normal character in the filename.

	12.7 mimetypes -- Map filenames to MIME types
		Conversions are provided from filename to MIME type and from MIME type to filename extension; encodings are not supported for the latter conversion.
		When the extension is already known, the new type will replace the old one.
		This is used to allow recognition of encoded files for which the encoding and the type are indicated by the same extension.

	29h (41) Parse Filename
		The function enables a program to set up a default drive, filename, and extension, and to allow the user to override these defaults at will.
		If bit 2 is 1, the function changes the filename in the FCB only if a valid filename is found in the filespec.
		If bit 3 is 1, the filename extension in the FCB is changed only if a valid filename extension is found in the filespec.

	What is a File Extension?
		A file extension, also called a filename extension, is the suffix at the end of a filename, which indicates what kind of file it is. For example, you can tell that the file "computer.jpg" is a JPEG image file, based on the ".jpg" file extension.
		While most filename extensions consist of three characters, they can be anywhere from one to five characters long.
		Be careful when changing a file extension, since it may cause your computer to be unable to open the file.

	The Filename or Extension Is Too Long
		The Filename or Extension Is Too Long error is reported by Windows when a user tries to rename or save a file with either a filename or extension beyond the maximum allowed by the Windows operating system.
		A filename is the set of characters, usually alphanumeric but sometimes also includes a dash or underscore, that is used to identify a particular program, document or other form of computer data.
		An extension is most often a shorter string of characters that starts with a period and usually ends with up to 4 characters.

	mod_mime - Apache HTTP Server
		This module is used to associate various bits of "meta information" with files by their filename extensions.
		If more than one extension is given which maps onto the same type of meta-information, then the one to the right will be used, except for languages and content encodings.
		By using more than one file extension (see section above about multiple file extensions), you can indicate that a file is of a particular type, and also has a particular encoding.

	Filename extension definition by The Linux Information Project (LINFO)
		However, even when extensions are not actually needed, they are frequently used because they can make it easier for users to tell the type of file at a glance.
		An example is the tilde (the short, curvy horizontal line that is located on the upper left of most keyboards) at the end of the name of automatically generated backup copies of files produced by the gedit text editor.
		As is the case with conventional filename extensions in Unix-like operating systems, the dot has no effect on the system or its relationship with the object.

		The problem is that Windows 95 (and later) expects you to name files with extensions that identify their software.
		The Windows world uses filename extensions in a new and better way, and we must adapt.
		You may not see the extension (.WPD), because Windows 95 (and later) by default does not display filename extensions, presumably to eliminate confusing details.

	[metapost] Request: Filename extension for MetaPost output (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		This causes no end of annoyances with systems that use the filename's extension to determine a file type; in particular, it causes problems with the \includegraphic system.
		I suggest that this situation be remedied; that an option be added to MetaPost to produce output files with a fixed extension that indicates the type of the output.
		I further suggest that this should be implemented in a flexible, user-defined way; some people prefer to have their MetaPost output in.eps files, some as.mps, and some may prefer other things.
