Definition

Langextinfo is an initialization file from VMAKE. It assigns file extensions to a programming language. Each programming language is represented by a letter (see below).

Use

If VMAKE finds a Langextinfo file, then the information contained in the file overrides the system default of VMAKE for the assignment of programming languages.

To override the system default, create a file with the name Langextinfo in the desc directory.

Syntax                   

<langextinfo_line> = <comment_line> | (<lang_id><lang_descr><token_sep><token>{<token_sep>,<token_sep><token>}<new_line>)

Use the # character as a comment character.

Parameters
