	File format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Other file formats, however, are designed for storage of several different types of data: the GIF format supports storage of both still images and simple animations, and the QuickTime format can act as a container for many different types of multimedia.
		Many file formats, including some of the most well-known file formats, have a published specification document (often with a reference implementation) that describes exactly how the data is to be encoded, and which can be used to determine whether or not a particular program treats a particular file format correctly.
		Since files are seen by programs as streams of data, a method is required to determine the format of a particular file within the filesystem—an example of metadata.
