The .mf suffix denotes make file.
The .mf files contain lists of source files. The .mf files are used during make sources when the binary file to be built uses many subdirectories, each subdirectory containing a variable number of files to be compiled.
Another form of .mf files are .lf files. The variables and macros used in the .mf and .lf files are listed in Table 4-10.
