What is the PLUGIN file format?

<p style="text-align: justify;">The .PLUGIN file type is used to install the plugin packages in MAC OS X. These plugin files are the add on utilities that help other software run better and deliver more productivity to their users. These are also known as plugin library files for MAC OS. Different MAC OS X applications can have their own third party .PLUGIN files which are installed in their respective locations on the hard disk. Some stand alone .PLUGIN files serve as small utility programs themselves and are run using any browser on MAC OS to do small tasks.&nbsp;</p>
