SUFFIXES(7)                Linux Programmer's Manual               SUFFIXES(7)

NAME
       suffixes - list of file suffixes
DESCRIPTION
       It  is  customary to indicate the contents of a file with the file suf-
       fix, which consists of a period, followed by one or more letters.  Many
       standard  utilities,  such as compilers, use this to recognize the type
       of file they are dealing with.  The make(1) utility is driven by  rules
       based on file suffix.
       Following is a list of suffixes which are likely to be found on a Linux
       system.
