This category is for formats whose files usually have one standard filename, as opposed to just a standard filename extension. Since only one file with a given name can exist per directory, such formats often contain metadata, policies, indexes, caches, and the like.

This category is not intended for applications and formats that use many distinctive filenames (e.g. Autotools).
