{{{caption}}}

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

[edit] Directly executable

[edit] Shared libraries, chained files, etc.

(can't be run by themselves, but are used at runtime by other executables)

[edit] Interpreted program files

[edit] Resource data used by executables and sometimes embedded in them

See Resources.

[edit] Meta-info files used in execution of programs/packages

[edit] Virtual machine code

(see Wikipedia:UVC-based preservation for use of virtual machines in archival preservation)

[edit] Macros or automated scripting

For additional formats, see Programming Languages.

See also Executable envelopes#Compiled scripts.

[edit] Executable compression

Refer to Executable compression.

[edit] Executable envelopes

(Generated executables: self-extracting archives and installers, executable documents, etc.)

Refer to Executable envelopes.
