The RSP file extension is generally related to resource files or "response files", which are commonly created with different software development tools. These types of files provide instructions for the software tool on how to build certain aspects of the software and which files contain specific parts of the code. Typically, the files can contain references to both source code and object files.
The RSP file format is compatible with many software development applications, such as Intel Compiler, CA-Clipper, Realia COBOL, and TIBLink. These types of files are typically generated when compiling a program and are used by the compiler to keep track of the various commands and options that have been selected. Common file extensions that are related to this type of file include: .csc,.lst,.opt,.obj,.dsk,.stb, and.cbt.
What is RSP?
RSP stands for Response Scripting File. It contains instructions written in a plain text format that are used by application programs, usually integrated development environment (IDE) software used to compile and build applications and programs. It tells the compiler where to find source code libraries, libraries necessary for linking, what object / library files need to be linked and other information.
Uses for the RSP File Extension
The RSP file can be used to optimize the compilation process in order to significantly reduce compile time. This is achieved by overriding or supplementing a set of defaults that would otherwise be automatically used by the compiler. It can also be useful in developing multi-platform software, as it allows developers to maintain one code base while still using different compiler flags for each target platform.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .RSP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .RSP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .RSP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .RSP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .RSP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .RSP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .RSP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .RSP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .RSP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .RSP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
