Filenames for KIP Document
Files holding a KIP Document can be recognised by their name. And sometimes we use a directory.
We suggest using .kip
as the filename extension for files with
KIP Document content. This is not a common extension and so it should
not cause confusion.
The magic header allows additional confirmation of the content of the file.
We may expand a .kip
file into a directory of the same name. This can be
useful to cache Ref
erenced documents, as well as to facilitate (re)hashing
their contents.
