Purpose of .prefs file under the .settings folder of the project

[cavinlong]

Hi,

Currently my project have 3 .prefs file under .settings folder ,

org.eclipse.cdt.codan.core.prefs;

org.eclipse.cdt.core.prefs;

org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.prefs;

Can i know what is the purpose of each .prefs file? 

Is there a document for this because I'm aware that it is auto generated files and in future might generate a diff .prefs and I have to ask the question again.

Thanks in advance.
