What does .h and .m stand for?

Exact duplicate:

Why do Objective C files use the .m extension?

I'm thinking .h stands for header. I suppose .m could stand for main, but I don't know. Do any of you actually know this?

Just to clarify, I know what goes in which file, i.e. I know the purpose of each filetype, I'm just curious if the filetype symbol has a meaning.

From stackoverflow

• right, .h stands for the header file. .m is for your code like .cpp in c++

  tmadsen : Thanks :) should have done a more extensive search on this site.

  Sergio Acosta : StackOverflow is amazing. Honestly, I was about to answer your question and was googling for sources to cite. But in the top search results I found the link to the already answered question. =)
• • h - header
  • m - method
  Kris : hmm, i thought it was "H"eader and i"M"plementation

• .h stands for header while .m stands for implementation
