Container formats for machine executable code. These often define different sections to be loaded into memory. Some formats may be compatible with different CPU architectures.
- a.out
- COM — DOS executable
- COFF — The Common Object File Format, an executable format originally designed for use in UNIX System V
- EXE — The original DOS executable format, with variants like NE (New Executable), PE (Portable Executable, actually a COFF variant), LX (Linear Executable) and others, as used in Microsoft MS-DOS and MS Windows (and some other operating systems like SkyOS)
- ELF
- Intel HEX
See also Source code for code in a higher-level programming language that needs to be compiled, assembled, or interpreted.
