## 7.3.1 The `filters` section

The `filters` section allows input filters to be specified for data files whose filenames match particular wildcards. Each line should be in the format

    wildcard = filter_binary

For example, the line

    *.gz = /usr/bin/gzip

would set the application `/usr/bin/gzip` to be used as an input filter for all data files with a `.gz` suffix. For more information about input filters, see Section 5.1.
