dired-mark-suffix is an interactive and byte-compiled function defined in dired-x.el.gz.

Signature

(dired-mark-suffix SUFFIX &optional MARKER-CHAR)

Documentation

Mark all files with a certain SUFFIX for use in later commands.

A . is *not* automatically prepended to the string entered; see
also dired-mark-extension, which is similar but automatically prepends . when not present. SUFFIX may also be a list of suffixes instead of a single one. Optional MARKER-CHAR is marker to use. Interactively, ask for SUFFIX. Prefixed with one C-u (universal-argument), unmark files instead. Prefixed with two C-u (universal-argument)'s, prompt for MARKER-CHAR and mark files with it.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 26.1.
