What Is the File Extension HS?

Although file extensions serve an important purpose in helping your computer locate and properly use files, file extensions are just an arbitrary collection of characters chosen by programmers and software developers. Because of this, unrelated files can share a common extension, which is the case with .hs files.

Identification

A file with the .hs file extension is a Haskell script, Motorola Flash flex file or a Java help set file.

Associations

Haskell scripts are associated with the Haskell programming language, while Java help set files are associated with the troubleshooting or support functions of programs written in the Java programming language. Motorola Flash flex files are used for Motorola cell phones.

Function

Haskell scripts contain instructions that a computer follows to run a Haskell-based program, while Motorola Flash flex files contain updates or new features for a Motorola phone. A Java help set file contains the information used to display the contents of the help page of some Java programs.

Popularity

Haskell scripts are the most common type of .hs files, according to FileInfo.com, while Java help set file are the least common.

Sources

Haskell scripts can be created with Haskell programming software like Helium and Hugs. Motorola Flash flex files can be downloaded directly to your Motorola phone or to your computer and then added to your phone using a USB Cable.

Considerations

Because Haskell scripts and Java help set files are necessary for their respective programs to function properly, never delete these types of .hs files from your computer.
