+.SH NAME
+suffixes \- list of file suffixes
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+It is customary to indicate the contents of a file with the file suffix,
+which (typically) consists of a period, followed by one or more letters.
+Many standard utilities, such as compilers, use this to recognize the type of
+file they are dealing with.
+The
+.BR make (1)
+utility is driven by rules based on file suffix.
+.P
+Following is a list of suffixes which are likely to be found on a
+Linux system.
