 | | 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. |

| | format - a Whatis.com definition |
| | Generically, data formats tend to fall into bitmaps (strings of 0s and 1s) that describe images or sound patterns (or both), text formats (in which usually each byte value is mapped to a character), and numeric data formats (used by spreadsheet and other database programs). | | | A computer program accepts data as input in a certain format, processes it, and provides it as output in the same or another format. | | | A hard disk or other storage device is also said to be formatted when its space has been organized and divided into pieces that can be controlled for convenient storage and access. |

| | What is format? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary |
| | Data in a file is stored in a format that is established by whatever application created the file (i.e., organized the data) and typically needs to be read by the same or similar program that can interpret the format and present the data to the user on the computer screen. | | | When you format a disk, the operating system erases all bookkeeping information on the disk, tests the disk to make sure all sectors are reliable, marks bad sectors (that is, those that are scratched), and creates internal address tables that it later uses to locate information. | | | Hierarchical Data Format (HDF) is a platform-independent data format for the storage and exchange of scientific data. |

| | In particular, some formats (such as application/postscript) have version numbering conventions that are internal to the media format. | | | Since it is possible that a future document might extend the message format standard again, a formal BNF is given for the content of the MIME-Version field: version := "MIME-Version" ":" 1*DIGIT "." 1*DIGIT Thus, future format specifiers, which might replace or extend "1.0", are constrained to be two integer fields, separated by a period. | | | Although the extensions in this document have been defined in such a way as to be compatible with RFC 822, there are still circumstances in which it might be desirable for a mail-processing agent to know whether a message was composed with the new standard in mind. |
