Project directories and SNiFF+ generated files

Generally, you create a project for existing source files. When you create the project, you must specify the directory containing these source files. The directory you specify is referred to as the project directory. Each project in SNiFF+ corresponds to a project directory on your file system.
During project creation, SNiFF+ generates the following files and directories in a project directory:

- Makefile--The project makefile. This file is generated when you choose to build your targets using SNiFF+'s Make Support.
- The Project Description File (PDF)--Each SNiFF+ project is described by a Project Description File (PDF) that stores the structure, the list of files, and the attributes of the project. SNiFF+ maintains a project's PDF for you. These files have the extension

.proj and .shared .
- Project Generate Directory--This directory contains a number of files generated for the project and maintained by SNiFF+. By default, this directory is called
.sniffdir and is located in the project directory.
