In operating systems such as UNIX/Linux or Windows it refers to the suffix of a file name, usually letters and or/numbers after a period. It is used as a way to identify the file type (the format and content type of a file), such as an executable file, program data, picture, video, audio, or document. Different file systems enforce different rules on how extensions are used. Some systems don't require extensions at all. Extensions are common mostly out habit and are still useful to quickly identify files in a list.
