  Mach-O

  Mach-O, short for Mach object file format, is a file format for executables, object code, shared libraries, dynamically-loaded code, and core dumps. A derivation of the a.out format, Mach-O offered more extensibility and faster access to information in the symbol table. Mach-O was once used by most...

• COFF

  The Common Object File Format (COFF) is a specification of a format for executable, object code, and shared library computer files used on Unix systems. It was introduced in Unix System V, and formed the basis for extended specifications such as XCOFF and ECOFF, before being largely replaced by ELF...

• Preferred Executable Format

  The Preferred Executable Format is a file format that specifies the format of executable files and other object code. PEF executables are also called Code Fragment Manager files (CFM). PEF was developed by Apple Computer for use in its Mac OS operating system. It was optimised for RISC processors....

• A.out

  a.out is a file format used in older versions of Unix-like computer operating systems for executables, object code, and, in later systems, shared libraries. The name stands for assembler output. a.out remains the default output file name for executables created by certain compilers/linkers when no...

• EXE

• Fat binary

  A fat binary (or multiarchitecture binary) is a computer program that is native to multiple instruction set architectures (ISA) and thus can be run on multiple processor types. The usual method of implementation is to include a version of the machine code for each ISA, resulting in a file larger...

• New Executable

  The NE, abbreviation for New Executable, is a 16-bit executable file format that was introduced in Windows 3.x , and was also used at a later time in OS/2 and 16-bit Windows. While it was "new" at the time of invention, it is now rare and obsolete, though its usage can still be found by a few...

• NetWare Loadable Module

  A NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) is a binary code module that can be loaded into Novell's NetWare operating system for execution. NLMs were supported beginning with the Intel 80386-based NetWare version 3.x. Prior versions of NetWare had a monolithic kernel, and significant hardware or functionality...
