== Parameters ==

; name         : The name of the file format.

; typecode     : The [[type code]] of the file, used by [[Mac OS Classic]].
; uniform type : The [[Uniform Type Identifier]], used by contemporary [[macOS]] computers and [[iOS]] devices.
; conforms to  : The immediate parents of the UTI. For example, <code>public.png</code> would conform to <code>public.image</code>

; extendedfrom : If the file format is based on another, list it here.
; extendedto   : If a new format is derived from this one, list it here.
; standard {{nobold|(or '''standards''')}} : If the format is part of a [[Technical standard|standard]] or standards, list it/them here.
