In computer science, object file or object code is an intermediate representation of code generated by a compiler after it processes a source code file. Object files contain compact, pre-parsed code, often called binaries, that can be linked with other object files to generate a final executable or code library. An object file is mostly machine code (code directly executed by a computer's CPU). An object file format is a computer file format used for the storage of object code and related data typically produced by a compiler or assembler.
