DEC files are typically saved in the EDK II Declaration (DEC) format. The purpose of the DEC format is to assist in the building of EDK components and EDK II modules and create UEFI applications and firmware images. EDK II is a development code base used to create UEFI drivers, firmware images, and applications.
The file includes declarations such as variables, constants, and file format specifications. DEC (Declaration) Files commonly include details related to software declarations, such as names of modules and functions. These declarations are included in the program before it is compiled into an executable module by the DEC machine.
DEC (Declaration) Files can also be used to configure the environment of the system, for example setting options related to cross-function linkages.
Many programmers treat DEC files as header files for various programming languages. Such practice is based on an idiosyncrasy of Unix-developers.
An often recurring problem with Declaration Format is that DEC is not associated with the correct program file. This problem can be easily remedied by double-clicking on the DEC file icon you want to open.
The inability to open and operate the DEC file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the VersaPro Declaration Format file, such as:
– Corruption of a DEC file which is being opened
– Incorrect links to the DEC file in registry entries
– Incomplete installation of an application that supports the DEC format
– Out of date drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a DEC file
Declaration files contributed to make source code more maintainable by introducing modularity. Additionally, DEC files can create aliases to enhance code readability and structure. Usually DEC files are text-based using formats like Plain Text (.txt), JavaScript Object Notation (.json) or JavaScript Syntax Notation (.jsy).
Similar formats include: .H, HC, .HPP, .DEF, .API and .FRM.
