Hello, I have a few questions: 1. What are the differences between ELF & Binary file formats? [I know some, but I want to know all.] 2. Why do we need a loader for ELF and not for Binary.. ?
What do you mean by "Binary" in this question? Most binary files *are* ELF files : $ file /bin/ls /bin/ls: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped $ file /lib/libc-2.3.6.so /lib/libc-2.3.6.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped -- Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@xxxxxxxxx> Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
