= D-Related Filename Extensions =

|| ''Extension'' || ''Description'' ||
|| .a || Linux library (similar to .lib in windows) ||
|| .bat || Windows batch file ||
|| .brf || Build Response Files (see the [/projects/build/ Build project]) [Ng:digitalmars.D.learn:922 digitalmars.D.learn:922], [Ng:digitalmars.D.learn:924 digitalmars.D.learn:924] ||
|| .c || C/C++ source file ||
|| .cpp || C++ source file ||
|| .css || style sheet (see [http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/ w3.org]) ||
|| .d || D source code (such as for compiling with DMD like this: DMD file.d) ||
|| [/projects/bindings/wiki/DefFiles .def] || windows definition file - can be included in the DMD command line to add certain functionality or definitions to a D program ||
|| .di || D header (can be automatically generated by DMD using the -H switch) ||
|| .dll || dynamic link library (can be created by a C/C++/D compiler) - see [/projects/derelict Derelict] for dynamic linking to existing .dll's ||
|| .h || C/C++ header file ||
|| .hpp || C++ header file ||
|| .htm || variant of .html ||
|| .html || webpage (could also be compiled by D if it contains code within <code> tags, see [http://www.digitalmars.com/d/html.html "Embedding D in HTML"]) ||
|| .ico || windows icon file (such as those created by [http://www.bouffler.freeserve.co.uk/icon_edit.htm Icon Edit], [http://www.axiomx.com/PixelToolbox/ PixelToolbox],  [http://www.x2studios.com/index.php?page=products&id=11 LiquidIconXP],  [http://ranfo.com/iconedit.html Randy's Freeware Icon Editor], or [http://blaizfree.net/CLIC.HTM Clic]) - can be compiled into .res files ||
|| .lib || library file (counterpart of Linux's .a). If it's not designed for Digital Mars, you can't use it with DMD without conversion.  Typical library files can be created by DM's LIB.exe, [ImportLibraries import libraries] can be created using IMPLIB.exe.  ||
|| .exe || Windows executable ||
|| .mak || makefile (try running with make) ||
|| .manifest || Windows XP manifest file (perhap look at undig) ||
|| .map || Windows .map file (created by DMD and used by the linker to create an .exe) ||
|| .o || Linux object file ||
|| .obj || Windows binary object file (created by DMD and used by the linker) ||
|| .res || Windows resource file (usually created by compiling an .rc file with a resource compiler) ||
|| .rsp || response files (such as for calling DMD like this: DMD @file.rsp) ||
|| .sh || Shell script file (might be runable by using DM's shell.exe) ||
|| .so || Linux equivalent of a .dll (can DMD or GDC create them yet?), but D programs in Linux can use them, see [/projects/derelict Derelict]) ||
|| .xml || link to W3.org ||
|| .zip || ZIP archive - see [http://www.7-zip.org 7-zip] and [http://www.zlib.net/ zlib] ||
