  2. py2exe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Py2exe

    Before then, py2exe was made only for Python 2, [4] and it was necessary to use an alternative like cx_Freeze for Python 3 code. Although this program transforms a .py file to an .exe, it does not make it run faster because py2exe bundles the Python bytecode without converting it to machine-code.

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

    Execution in computer and software engineering is the process by which a computer or virtual machine interprets and acts on the instructions of a computer program.Each instruction of a program is a description of a particular action which must be carried out, in order for a specific problem to be solved.

  4. Software build - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_build

    A software build is the process of converting source code files into standalone software artifact(s) that can be run on a computer, or the result of doing so. [1]In software production, builds optimize software for performance and distribution, packaging into formats such as '.exe'; '.deb'; '.apk'.

  5. Fork–exec - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork–exec

    The spawn() family of functions declared in process.h can replace it in cases where the call to fork() is followed directly by exec(). When a fork syscall is made on WSL , lxss.sys does some of the initial work to prepare for copying the process.

  6. Windows API - Wikipedia

    The functions reside mainly in core files of the OS: kernel.exe (or krnl286.exe or krnl386.exe), user.exe and gdi.exe. Despite the file extension of exe, such a file is accessed as a DLL. Win32 is in the 32-bit versions of Windows (NT, 95, and later). The functions are implemented in system DLL files including kernel32.dll, user32.dll, and ...

  7. Dynamic-link library - Wikipedia

    The created executable then contains an import address table (IAT) by which all DLL function calls are referenced (each referenced DLL function contains its own entry in the IAT). At run-time, the IAT is filled with appropriate addresses that point directly to a function in the separately loaded DLL.

  8. Portable Executable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Executable

    It is the standard format for executables on Windows NT-based systems, including files such as .exe, .dll, .sys (for system drivers), and .mui. At its core, the PE format is a structured data container that gives the Windows operating system loader eveything it needs to properly manage the executable code it contains.

  9. Linker (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    An illustration of the linking process. Object files and static libraries are assembled into a new library or executable. In computing, a linker or link editor is a computer system program that takes one or more object files (generated by a compiler or an assembler) and combines them into a single executable file, library file, or another "object" file.
