filename extension
     
         the portion of a filename, following the
        final point, which indicates the kind of data stored in the
        file.
     
        many operating systems use filename extensions, e.g. unix,
        vms, ms-dos, microsoft windows.  they are usually from
        one to three letters some sad old oses support no more than
        three.  examples include "c" for c source code, "ps" for
        postscript, "txt" for arbitrary text.
     
        nextstep and its descendants also use extensions on
        directories for a similar purpose.
     
        apart from informing the user what type of content the file
        holds, filename extensions are typically used to decide which
        program to launch when a file is "run", e.g. by
        double-clicking it in a gui file browser.  they are also
        used by unix's make to determine how to build one kind of
        file from another.
