===== Relocatable Object =====
[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:start| Return to Glossary ]]

A **Relocatable Object** file holds sections containing code and data. This file is suitable to be linked with other relocatable [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:o:object|object]] files to create dynamic [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:e:exec|executable files]], [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:so|shared object]] files, or another relocatable object. A dynamic executable file holds a program that is ready to execute.

  * [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:u:unix|Unix]] and Linux generally use [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:so]]
  * Microsoft Windows use [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:d:dll]]
