Enum Constants
Enum Constant	Description
`CPG`	the .cpg file is used to specify the code page
`DBF`	the .dbf file, it contains the attribute information of the shapefile
`FIX`	the .fix file, it contains all the Feature IDs for constant time lookup by fid also so that the fids stay consistent across deletes and adds

`QIX`	the .qix file, A quad tree spatial index of the shapefile.
`SHP`	The .shp file.
`SHP_XML`	the .shp.xml file, it contains the metadata about the shapefile

- Enum Constant Detail
  - SHP
```
public static final ShpFileType SHP
```
    The .shp file. It contains the geometries of the shapefile
  - DBF
```
public static final ShpFileType DBF
```
    the .dbf file, it contains the attribute information of the shapefile
  - SHX
```
public static final ShpFileType SHX
```
    the .shx file, it contains index information of the existing features
  - PRJ
```
public static final ShpFileType PRJ
```
    the .prj file, it contains the projection information of the shapefile
  - QIX
```
public static final ShpFileType QIX
```
    the .qix file, A quad tree spatial index of the shapefile. It is the same format the mapservers shptree tool generates
  - FIX
```
public static final ShpFileType FIX
```
    the .fix file, it contains all the Feature IDs for constant time lookup by fid also so that the fids stay consistent across deletes and adds
  - SHP_XML
```
public static final ShpFileType SHP_XML
```
    the .shp.xml file, it contains the metadata about the shapefile
  - CPG
```
public static final ShpFileType CPG
```
    the .cpg file is used to specify the code page

public final String gzExtensionWithPeriod
```
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static ShpFileType[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
    for (ShpFileType c : ShpFileType.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static ShpFileType valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - toBase
```
public String toBase(File file)
```
    Returns the base of the file or null if the file passed in is not of the correct type (has the correct extension.)
    For example if the file is c:\shapefiles\file1.dbf. The DBF type will return c:\shapefiles\file1 but all other will return null.
  - toBase
```
public String toBase(String path)
```
    Returns the base of the file or null if the file passed in is not of the correct type (has the correct extension.)
    For example if the file is c:\shapefiles\file1.dbf. The DBF type will return c:\shapefiles\file1 but all other will return null.
  - toBase
```
public String toBase(URL url)
```
    Returns the base of the file or null if the file passed in is not of the correct type (has the correct extension.)
    For example if the file is c:\shapefiles\file1.dbf. The DBF type will return c:\shapefiles\file1 but all other will return null.
