 a.out(4)            Architecture-Dependent File Format             a.out(4)





 NAME
      a.out - assembler and link editor output

 REMARKS
      A separate manual entry describes each implementation of the a.out
      file format for Series 300/400 and Series 700/800 systems.

 DESCRIPTION
      The a.out (i.e., object file) format is completely machine-dependent
      except for the first word, which contains a magic number as defined in
      magic(4).

      The archive symbol table format is also completely machine-dependent
      except for its name in the archive.  See ar(4) for a description of
      the format of the archive symbol table.
