COFF
Sign in to saveThe Common Object File Format (COFF) is a format for executable, object code, and shared library computer files used on Unix systems. It was introduced in Unix System V, replaced the previously used a.out format, and formed the basis for extended specifications such as XCOFF and ECOFF, before being largely replaced by ELF, introduced with SVR4. COFF and its variants continue to be used on some Unix-like systems, on Microsoft Windows (Portable Executable), in UEFI environments and in some embedded development systems.

COFF (Common Object File Format) はUnixシステムで用いられる実行ファイル、オブジェクトファイル、共有ライブラリのファイルフォーマット仕様である。Unix System V で導入され、SVR4で導入されたELFによって広く置き換えられる前に、XCOFFやECOFFなどの拡張仕様の基礎を形作った。COFFとその派生種はその後もUnixライクシステムやMicrosoft Windows上で使われ続けている。
