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.

How to extract texts from HS files or capture a screenshot to PDF, JPG, DOCX, TXT, ...

If you want to extract texts from HS file or capture a screenshot, you can use our free Online HS File Viewer:

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

Programs that open and convert HS files:

GHC by Haskell Developers
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. HS files are often referred to as GHC developers because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
HSnapshot (screen snapshot) by PCNetWork
HSnapshot is a discontinued application which takes a screenshot of a computer's screen every 30 seconds. A screenshot captured by HSnapshot is saved in a HS file which is actually a JPEG image. This file format is classified as Raster Image.
Hugs (source code) by Mark P. Jones et. al.
Hugs is a discontinued interpreter and implementation of Haskell 98 functional programming language. It saved and run Haskell source code in HS files. This file format is classified as Developer.
Java (help/documentation) by Oracle
Java is a cross-platform software development kit and high level programming language. It saves the helpset of a program/library in a HS file written in Extensible Markup Language. This file format is classified as Simple text file. Related links: Helpset File
RAZR (flash flex) by Motorola
RAZR is a family of discontinued smartphones manufactured by Motorola. Firmware updates of such phones were distributed as HS files. This file format is classified as System.

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:

The HS file extension is rarely used and has no uniform or dominant file format. The two most common formats are as follows:

8% of all HS files start with the bytes module , which are crucial for this file format. The contents of these files can even be read by a human. The files are 67 bytes to 3 KB in size, with a median of 1 KB. The following keywords are characteristic: module, import and where.
10% of all HS files have the same signature 7B 2D. 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 1 KB and 9 KB in size. The following keywords are characteristic: module.

The remaining 82% of all HS files are different files with different signatures, such as UTF-16 (LE) and import. These files are often connected to haskell, bodlogo, assignment or mondrian. If you want to find out what your HS file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.

an hs source code is a special file format by Haskell Developers and should only be edited and saved with the appropriate software.

How to solve problems with HS files

Associate the HS file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open source codes. Because only the current version supports the latest HS file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the Haskell Developers manufacturer website after an available GHC update.
To make sure that your HS file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
