Object files

This topic describes the object file format, called ELF (Executable and Linking Format). There are three main types of object files. Created by the assembler and link editor, object files are binary representations of programs intended to be executed directly on a processor. Programs that require other abstract machines, such as shell scripts, are excluded.
