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.
