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 usually contain [[metadata]], policies, indexes, caches, and the like.

It is not intended for applications and formats that use many distinctive filenames (e.g. [[Autotools]]).
