# Naming Conventions

Use the following naming conventions for functions and files:

- The initial letters of the custom reader file name should identify the file format being parsed. For example, `pdf` for Adobe PDF files, `rtf` for RTF files, and `xls` for Microsoft Excel files. In the examples in this appendix, this is represented by `xxx`.
- The name of the shared library must end with the letters `sr`.

- The name of the exported functions in the module definition file must be `xxxGetReaderInterface` and `xxxsrAutoDet`.

  NOTE: The letters `sr` are excluded from `xxxGetReaderInterface`, but are included in `xxxsrAutoDet`.
