Name Executables
Ontology

{{{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

Directly executable

Shared libraries, chained files, etc.

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

Virtual machine code

See also

See also Source code for code in a higher-level programming language that needs to be compiled, assembled, or interpreted, and Development for other files used in the development process, including object and library files that get linked into a finished executable. See Archiving for some forms of self-extracting archives and installer packages.
