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.
Contents |
Directly executable
- a.out
- COFF — The Common Object File Format, an executable format originally designed for use in UNIX System V
- Commodore 64 binary executable (.prg)
- DOS executable (.com) — 16 bit DOS executable
- ELF
- EXE — MS-DOS, MS Windows, and others
- MS-DOS EXE
- NE (New Executable)
- Linear Executable
- PE (Portable Executable, actually a COFF variant)
- Intel HEX
- iOS app (.app) (see also IPA for archived version, and Mobile Provision file for provision file accompanying apps)
- Mach-O
- Psion IMG (and APP)
- Psion OPO (and OPA)
(can't be run by themselves, but are used at runtime by other executables)
- Assembly manifest (Windows) (.manifest)
- Dynamic library (OS X or iOS) (.dylib)
- Dynamic-link library (Windows) (.dll)
- Turbo Pascal chain file (.chn)
Virtual machine code
- Bytecode (or p-code) — programs "compiled" into machine-independent code that loads or runs more quickly than raw interpreted source code; runs in an interpreter
- Universal Machine (ICFP programming contest 2006)
