Object file
In computer science, object code, or an object file, is the representation of code that a compiler generates by processing a source code file. Object files contain compact code, often called "binaries". A linker is used to generate an executable or library by linking object files together. An object file consists of machine code (code directly executed by a computer's CPU), together with relocation information, program symbols (names of variables and functions), and possibly debugging information.
