# Section 5:
Descriptor Files

In order to permit the Required Library RESOURCE class to find the message files for the library itself, other libraries and programs which may be written, it is necessary to specify a structure of message resource files which may be searched as necessary to find the resources when needed.

There are therefore two necessary kinds of file, one providing a description of where message files are to be found, the other being the actual files containing message format descriptor strings. These file formats are described in the following sub-sections -

1. Library Resource files
2. Message files
