What is an OUTPUT file?

OUTPUT files mostly belong to Text Editor. OUTPUT files hold the results that programs write during their operations.
They are used in several scenarios:

Ciena log files: These store program outputs and are often compressed with GZIP.

Program output files from XL Optimizer: They contain text output from the program. Visit XL Optimizer for more details.

Terminal session logs: These record the output of command-line sessions (refer to man7.org for session details).

Terraform output archives: These are execution plan files saved as ZIP archives, sometimes produced with Terragrunt. See Terraform for further info.

FilExt.com tips: If you have an OUTPUT file, check if it is compressed. If so, use a decompression tool (like 7-Zip or WinZip) first. Then open the file with a text editor to view its content. The file contains raw output data and logs intended for analysis or troubleshooting.

How do you open OUTPUT files?

You need a suitable software like Text Editor to open an OUTPUT 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 OUTPUT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a OUTPUT file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

OUTPUT file format:

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Our evaluation of the OUTPUT files looks like this:

Files with the OUTPUT extension are quite widely used. This file type includes a lot of different file formats for different programs. However, the following two file formats are common:

15% of all OUTPUT files internally utilize the GZIP file format. Gzip is a compressed archive file format. Gzip (GNU zip) is only capable of compressing a single file. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. Most of these files are 580 bytes to 1 MB in size. This file type is new and state-of-the-art. The file name rtrvlog_1_sp_15.output is characteristic of these files. These files can be linked to rtrvlog, auxp, appweb, arllf, pdtrc and prov.
10% of all OUTPUT files have the same signature ====. These files contain text and words, not binary data. The file size is in the range of 5 KB to 240 KB. The following keywords are characteristic: ============, FILE, diff, test and ------------. Such files sometimes refer to lexer, watchman, watchmantest and nolastname.

All other OUTPUT files (75%) have different formats, such as ZIP, Script and lorem. Files like these are sometimes linked to shippee, plan, cloudwatch, pools, coordinates, surface, random, jyuan, users or vivo. Just click the "Choose your .output file to analyze" button on this page to find out what your OUTPUT file is.
