What is ELF?

0

ELF is a file format for executable files and core files. ELF was introduced in Unix systems as a replacement for the traditional `a.out’ file format, and it has been adopted by other Unix-like systems such as Linux. BSD/OS 4.x uses ELF for virtually all of its executable files, and all of its core files. Library files and the kernel are also in ELF format. ELF is an acronym for `Executable and Linking Format’.
