  2. Comparison of executable file formats - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_executable...

    This is a comparison of binary executable file formats which, once loaded by a suitable executable loader, can be directly executed by the CPU rather than being interpreted by software. In addition to the binary application code, the executables may contain headers and tables with relocation and fixup information as well as various kinds of ...

  3. Executable and Linkable Format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_and_Linkable_Format

    An ELF file has two views: the program header shows the segments used at run time, whereas the section header lists the set of sections.. In computing, the Executable and Linkable Format [2] (ELF, formerly named Extensible Linking Format) is a common standard file format for executable files, object code, shared libraries, and core dumps.

  4. List of Java bytecode instructions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Java_bytecode...

    This is a list of the instructions that make up the Java bytecode, an abstract machine language that is ultimately executed by the Java virtual machine. [1] The Java bytecode is generated from languages running on the Java Platform, most notably the Java programming language.

  5. Execution (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Execution_(computing)

    Executable code, an executable file, or an executable program, sometimes simply referred to as an executable or binary, is a list of instructions and data to cause a computer "to perform indicated tasks according to encoded instructions", [1] as opposed to a data file that must be interpreted by a program to be meaningful.

  6. Portable Executable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Executable

    The Portable Executable (PE) format is a file format for executables, object code, dynamic-link-libraries (DLLs), and binary files used on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating systems, as well as in UEFI environments. [2]

  7. Executable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable

    Executable files typically also include a runtime system, which implements runtime language features (such as task scheduling, exception handling, calling static constructors and destructors, etc.) and interactions with the operating system, notably passing arguments, environment, and returning an exit status, together with other startup and ...

  8. Make (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_(software)

    Since operating systems use different shells, this can lead to unportable makefiles. For example, GNU Make (all POSIX Makes) executes commands with /bin/sh by default, where Unix commands like cp are normally used. In contrast, Microsoft's nmake executes commands with cmd.exe where batch commands like copy are available but not necessarily cp.

  9. binfmt_misc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binfmt_misc

    binfmt_misc (Miscellaneous Binary Format) is a capability of the Linux kernel which allows arbitrary executable file formats to be recognized and passed to certain user space applications, such as emulators and virtual machines. [1] It is one of a number of binary format handlers in the kernel that are involved in preparing a user-space program ...
