The granting of additional time, as in a contract or the filing of a tax return.

A three-letter suffix added to a DOS file name; often supplied by the application and indicating the type of application.

DOS (and consequently any Windows application before Windows 95) has specific rules for the way in which any files created can be named. A file name in a DOS-based system (PCs) has two parts; the root and the extension separated by a full-stop e.g. myfile.doc (the root has a maximum of eight letters, the extension just three). The root is the name the user chooses to give his/her file, the extension can also be used to identify files but DOS and Windows programmes use them to identify certain types of files. For example, the doc extension is used by The Word Word-processor, the txt extension by the Notepad application, the wps extension is used by Works etc. Windows 95 got rid of the need for extensions and allows the user to have much larger file names (though it secretly converts everything to DOS itself).

A suffix to the filename that appears after the dot and indicates the file type — for example .doc for Word files, . html for hypertext files, and . gif for a picture file.

A file name in MS-DOS and some other operating systems can be followed by a three-letter file extension that often indicates the nature of the file. When typing the file name, a period is used to separate the name from the extension. (7/96)

Conventional ending for a file name (usually dot-something) to tell you what sort of file it is (e.g. .a - library, .c - C source code, .h - C source header code, .html - Web page, .pl - Perl script, .sh - sh shell script, .tex - L Xor T Xinput file...)

(File Extension) In Windows, DOS and some other operating systems, one or several letters at the end of a filename. Filename extensions usually follow a period (dot) and indicate the type of file. Eg. filename.txt denotes a plain text file, filename.htm or filename.htm denotes an HTML file. Some common image extensions are filename.jpg or filename.jpeg or filename.bmp or filename.gif

Abbreviated code at the end of a file that tells the browser what kind of file it is looking for (i.e. JPEG files would have the extension .jpg).

DOS, Windows, and, to a lesser extent, UNIX and Linux use the last three characters of a filename, after a period, to signify what type of file a file...

A set of related files defining new commands and APIs, either at the C-level or the script level. May contain only tcl scripts, or only source code, or both. The pure forms are called script and code extensions.

Extension of time to file discharge data reports are available to hospitals that are unable to complete their submission of discharge data reports by the due date prescribed in Regulation.

The three-letter 'tail' of an MS DOS or Windows filename (preceded by a full stop).It's used by programs to distinguish one type of file from another. As an example .TXT is used for plain text files. GB Gigabyte. Hard disk drive manufacturers inevitably overstate the size of the products they sell because, while the rest of the world believes a gigabyte consists of 1,024 megabytes, they rather conveniently, think it is 1,000 megabytes.

Identifies the type of a file. It comprises everything after the final dot. If there is no final dot, the extension is empty. See also: path

In reference to filenames, a set of characters added to a filename that serves to extend or modify the syntax and semantics of the language. The extension is usually the characters that follow the period in a filename. For example, in the file "document.txt," the characters "txt" are the extension. The file-name extension can be assigned by the user or by (and have special meaning to) a program.

The part of a file's DOS identifier that comes after the filename. Can be as long as three characters. Separated from the filename by a period. Extensions frequently indicate the type of file. For example, .exe indicates that the file is an executable program.

The period and characters at the end of a filename. An extension usually identifies the kind of information a file contains. For example .html A Web document.

The portion of a file name following the last period. For example, in the file name C:\DIR1\LETTER.JOHN.DAT the extension is .DAT.

A one-to-three-character set that follows a filename. The extension further defines or clarifies the filename. It is separated from the filename by a period(.).

In computer operating systems, a file name extension is an optional addition to the file name in a suffix of the form ".xxx" where "xxx" represents a limited number of alphanumeric characters depending on the operating system. The file name extension helps an application program recognize whether a file is a type that it can work with. file - In data processing, a file is a related collection of records. For example, you might put the records you have on each of your customers in a file. In turn, each record would consist of fields for individual data items, such as customer name, customer number, customer address, and so forth. By providing the same information in the same fields in each record (so that all records are consistent), your file will be easily accessible for analysis and manipulation by a computer program.

Identifies how a file is used or which program generated the file. For example, the extension ".xls" identifies a file as a Microsoft E ce preadsheet.

An extension is suffix added to a domain name which describes a file's location.

The period (.) and one to three characters at the end of a filename. An extension usually indicates the type of file or directory.

The letters after the dot in a file name. These letters give you an idea of the nature of the file, and may suggest which program, if any, might open it. Many files are simply not meant to be opened by humans. Don't allow Windows to hide the extension on "known files"; this can lead to confusion and even make virus infection more likely. ALPHABET

The extension represents the type of file hit by a web site request.

The letters following the dot (".") character at the end of a file name. For instance, the extension of the file name "myimage.gif" is "gif".

The letters after the period in a filename. For example, .ram would be the extension of thankyou.ram. While often this is realted to the datatype of the file, this is not always the case. See also Datatype.

The part of a file-name that follows the period (.).

The identifying code for a certain type of electronic file - e.g. help.doc, datafile.dat The extension associates the file with a certain application, e.g doc with Word. An erroneous extension can break an association with an application, and therefore cause a macro to fail. Extensions are therefore crucial to naming conventions.

The period and characters at the end of a file or directory name, often used to indicate the type of file or directory. For instance, index.html includes the .HTML extension to indicate it is an HTML document.

The end of a filename or URL, after the last dot. Web pages usually have extensions of htm (for Microsoft-produced files, or html for files produced on Unix, Linux, or Macintosh systems. You also see other extensions, such as asp or php

The part of a filename, usually the last part, which identifies the file type. Ex: In the file alpine.txt, ".txt" is the file extension. In this case, it's a text a text file. In HTML, markup elements which are added to the collection of standard elements (i.e. Netscape extensions).

(or File Extension) One or several letters at the end of a file name that determine how the file is formatted and viewed. Filename extensions usually follow a period (dot). For example, this.txt is a plain text file; that.htm or that.html denotes an HTML file. Some common image extensions are picture.jpg, or picture.gif.

The part of a filename (of up to three characters) that follows the period (.). An extension is not required but is usually added to differentiate similar files. For example, the source-code file MYPROG.ASM is assembled into the object file MYPROG.OBJ, which is linked to produce the executable file MYPROG.EXE.

Three letters following the period (.) in a file name. In the Windows system, extensions are used for identifying file types. For example, program execution files are named with ".exe"; text files with ".txt"; and bitmap image files with "bmp".

On some operating systems, the second part of the full file specification. Several standard file extensions are used to indicate the type or purpose of the file, as in file extensions of SQL, LOG, LIS, EXE, BAT, and DIR. Called file type on some operating systems.

PCs use file extensions — a dot (period) and two, three or four letters — at the end of file names to keep track of what kind of file it is. For instance, Microsoft Word files usually have a ".doc" extension, while Web pages, which use hypertext markup language, have an ".htm" or ".html" extension. (Why two kinds? Older PCs running Windows 3.11 or DOS can't handle extensions with more than three letters. On the other hand, Macintoshes understand so well that Mac users don't have to use or see extensions at all.) Recognizing file extensions helps you when you're trying to figure out something your browser has found but can't understand. Netscape users can see a list of the extensions their browser knows about by clicking on "Options," then (for 2.0 users) General Preferences, then Helpers. As you add plug-ins to your browser, you'll find yourself making changes to the Options list and its set of known extensions.

The annual report is due on April 15 however the entity may request a 60-day extension. This is the date such a request was received, or in some cases the word "Filed" indicates an extension request was received. A blank field means no such request was received.

In Windows, DOS and some other operating systems, one or several letters at the end of a filename. Filename extensions usually follow a period (dot) and indicate the type of file. For example, this.txt denotes a plain text file, that.htm or that.html denotes an HTML file. Some common image extensions are picture.jpg or picture.jpeg or picture.bmp or picture.gif

TIFF / .tif An extension, or file extension, is the part of the file name that is preceded by a dot. For example .exe files are program files whilst .wma is an audio file and .gif & .jpeg are picture files. The extension is an identifier that is used to tell Windows what kind of file it is. TIFF or .tif is the acronym for Tagged Image File Format and is a widely supported file format used to store bitmap images on home computers. TIFF graphics can be of any resolution, black and white, colour or grey scale.

The set of letters that follow a computer file's name to show what format it is. For instance, a file ending in .doc is a Microsoft Word document, one ending in .jpg is a JPEG picture file, and an item ending in .wav is a sound clip. Anything ending in .exe is an executable program file, and therefore a potential security risk. See "EXE" above.

The last three characters of a filename that denote the type of file, usually conveying information about the source code.

The last period in a file name and all characters that follow. A file's extension indicates the type of information in it and the applications that can open it.

For example, the extension of "readme.txt" is ".txt", indicating it is a text file; the extension in "dog.jpg" is ".jpg", indicating a JPEG file, and so on. Some files on your Macintosh or on servers may not have extensions, in which case you may have to guess what kind of file they are.

In computer operating systems, a file name extension is an optional addition to the file name in a suffix of the form ".xxx" where "xxx" represents a limited number of alphanumeric characters depending on the operating system. (In Windows 3.1, for example, a file name extension or suffix can have no more than three characters, but in Windows 95, it can have more.) The file name extension allows a file's format to be described as part of its name so that users can quickly understand the type of file it is without having to "open" or try to use it. The file name extension also helps an application program recognize whether a file is a type that it can work with. Source: Whatis.com
