+@defun file-name-extension filename &optional period
+This function returns @var{filename}'s final ``extension,'' if any,
+after applying @code{file-name-sans-versions} to remove any
+version/backup part.  If @var{period} is non-nil, then the returned
+value includes the period that delimits the extension, and if
+@var{filename} has no extension, the value is @code{""}.
