Opening HS Files

The HS file type is primarily associated with GHC.

HS	File extension: HS
	File type:	source code

What is an HS file?

HS files mostly belong to GHC by Haskell Developers. HS is the filename extension of a helpset file which contains documentation, help articles, or tutorials for a Java program, class, or software project. The contents of this file are written in Extensible Markup Language (HS). References to subtopics in a helpset can also be referenced from the HS file for a parent helpset. Another type of HS file is a script written in Haskell programming language. A plain text or code editor may be used to edit Haskell code. HS is also the filename extension of a data file used by HyperStudio multimedia editing software.

How can I open an HS file?

You need a suitable software like GHC to open an HS file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your HS file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a HS file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

1. To do this, click the button "Choose your .hs file to view" on this page.
2. After your file is opened in browser,
3. click "Save as..." in the menu.
4. Then choose the file format (e.g. JPG, PDF, DOCX, TXT, ...) you want.
5. Your file will be converted and downloaded.

HS file format:

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Below you will find our evaluation of the HS files:

You will often come across the HS file type. This has no uniform or dominant file format. The two most common formats are as follows:

• 15% of all HS files are using the well-known UTF-16 (LE) file format to store the data. UTF-16 (LE) is an character encoding system for Unicode. UTF-16 files can be viewed in any modern text editor. These files start with the two bytes FF FE, the so called byte order mark (BOM). These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. The files are 28 KB to 2 MB in size, with a median of 230 KB. The file type was developed only in the last few years. The following keywords are characteristic: 0.000000 and HAN'S SOFTWARE 6.0.001. Files like these have the following tags: logo.
• 10% of all HS files have the same signature import . These files are plain text, which means they can be viewed with any text editor such as Windows Editor, Nano for Linux, and TextEdit for macOS. HS files are between 46 bytes and 5 KB in size. The following keywords are characteristic: import Data.Char, List and import Data.Bits. The file name Setup.hs or potion.hs is characteristic of these files. Files like these are sometimes connected to chall.

The remaining 75% of all HS files are different files with different signatures, such as GZIP, module and HAN. These files are often connected to record, haskell, assignment, solution, lesson or blatt. If you want to find out what your HS file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
