From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
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. Compare: {MIME type}. {Tony Warr's comprehensive list (http://camalott.com/~rebma/filex.html)}. {FAQS.org Graphics formats (http://www.faqs.org/faqs/graphics/fileformats-faq/)}. (2002-04-19)
