Extensions
QNX SDP8.0User's GuideUser
Filename extensions (.something at the end of a filename) tell programs and users what type of data a file contains.
In QNX OS filesystems, extensions are just an ordinary part of the filename and can be any length, as long as the total filename size stays within the 505-byte filename length limit.
Most of the time, file extensions are simply naming conventions,
but some utilities base their behavior on the extension.
See
Filename extensions
for a list of some of the common extensions used in a QNX OS system.
