file types
From Free Pascal wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
This page is a summary of the file types created by FPC and Lazarus. The main purpose is to make it easy to find out whether or not a particular file should be added to a Version Control System (VCS) like SVN or Git.
Types to add to VCS
| Extension | Description |
| .pas | Pascal source code file |
| .pp | Pascal source code file (useful if you want to avoid confusion with Delphi source code files). |
| .lfm | Lazarus form source file. Analogous to Delphi's dfm files. |
| .lpi | Lazarus project information file. Created by Lazarus for every new project. |
| .lpr | Lazarus program (or project) file. The source code of the main program. Analogous to Delphi's dpr project file. |
| .rc | A Windows resource file (not binary) |
| .ico | The main project icon in Windows icon format |
| .manifest | Windows-specific manifest file for themes |
Types usually not added to VCS
| Extension | Description |
| .lps | Lazarus project settings file. Created by Lazarus for every new project. |
| .lrs | Lazarus resource file. |
| .compiled | FPC compilation state |
| .o | Object file |
| .or | Object file |
| .ppu | A compiled Unit file |
| .res | The result of compiling the rc file (binary) |
| .rst | Compiled resource strings. Used for L10n. If you intend to translate an application, this should probably be version controlled. |
