| | File format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A file format is a particular way to encode information for storage in a computer file. | | | Many file formats, including some of the most well-known file formats, have a published specification document (often with a reference implementation) that describes exactly how the data is to be encoded, and which can be used to determine whether or not a particular program treats a particular file format correctly. | | | Other file formats, however, are designed for storage of several different types of data: the GIF format supports storage of both still images and simple animations, and the QuickTime format can act as a container for many different types of multimedia. |

| | In particular, it is the difference between the position of this term's data in that file and the position of the previous term's data (or zero, for the first term in the file). | | | When a file named "commit.lock" is present, a process is currently re-writing the "segments" file and deleting outdated segment index files, or a process is reading the "segments" file and opening the files of the segments it names. | | | The remaining files are all per-segment, and are thus defined by suffix. |

| | Wave File Format - The Sonic Spot |
| | The first 8 bytes in the file is a standard RIFF chunk header which has a chunk ID of "RIFF" and a chunk size equal to the file size minus the 8 bytes used by the header. | | | Since the Wave file format is native to Windows and therefor Intel processors, all data values are stored in Little-Endian (least significant byte first) order. | | | Wave files use the standard RIFF structure which groups the files contents (sample format, digital audio samples, etc.) into separate chunks, each containing it's own header and data bytes. |
