Synopsis

COFF, Common Object File Format, is the formal definition for the structure of machine code files in the UNIX System V.3 environment. All machine-code files--fully linked executables, compiled applications, or system libraries--are COFF files. There is hardly a system-related task that does not require some knowledge of COFF, from understanding assembly source to implementing a proprietary system enhancement. This handbook explains the COFF data structure and its manipulation.

Contents include:

  • Basics of COFF.
  • Assembly code relocation process.
  • COFF file headers.
  • Relocation structures.
  • Linking.
  • The COFF system in UNIX.
  • Magic numbers.
  • The COFF symbolic debug system.
