|
| .cpp | C++ source file
|
| .css | style sheet (see w3.org)
|
| .d | D source code (such as for compiling with DMD like this: DMD file.d)

|
| .di | D header (can be automatically generated by DMD using the -H switch)

| .dll | dynamic link library (can be created by a C/C++/D compiler) - see Derelict for dynamic linking to existing .dll's
|
| .h | C/C++ header file
|
| .hpp | C++ header file
|
| .htm | variant of .html
|
| .html | webpage (could also be compiled by D if it contains code within <code> tags, see Embedding D in HTML)

| .ico | windows icon file (such as those created by Icon Edit, PixelToolbox, LiquidIconXP, Randy's Freeware Icon Editor, or Clic) - can be compiled into .res files
|
| .lib | library file (counterpart of Linux's .a). If it's not designed for Digital Mars, you can't use it with DMD without conversion. Typical library files can be created by DM's LIB.exe, import libraries can be created using IMPLIB.exe.
|
| .exe | Windows executable
|
| .mak | makefile (try running with make)
|
| .manifest | Windows XP manifest file (perhap look at undig)
|

|
| .o | Linux object file
|
| .obj | Windows binary object file (created by DMD and used by the linker)
|
| .res | Windows resource file (usually created by compiling an .rc file with a resource compiler)
|
| .rsp | response files (such as for calling DMD like this: DMD @file.rsp)
|
| .sh | Shell script file (might be runable by using DM's shell.exe)
|
| .so | Linux equivalent of a .dll (can DMD or GDC create them yet?), but D programs in Linux can use them, see Derelict)
|
| .xml | link to W3.org
|
| .zip | ZIP archive - see 7-zip and zlib
