1/3rd right Ann
There are three main types for ELF files.
-An executable file contains code and data suitable for execution. It
specifies the memory layout of the process.
-A relocatable file contains code and data suitable for linking with
other relocatable and shared object files.
-A shared object file (a.k.a. shared library) contains code and data
suitable for the link editor ld at link time and the dynamic linker at
run time. The dynamic linker may be called ld.so.1, libc.so.1 or
ld-linux.so.1, depending on the implementation.
