file type
The kind of data stored in a file. Most modern
{operating systems} use the {filename extension} to determine
the file type though some store this information elsewhere in
the {file system}. The file type is used to choose an
appropriate icon to represent the file in a {GUI} and the
correct {application} with which to view, edit, run, or print
the file.
Different operating systems support different sets of file
types though most agree on a large common set and allow
arbitrary new types to be defined.
See also {MIME}.
