  2. Executable compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_compression

    Executable compression can be used to prevent direct disassembly, mask string literals and modify signatures. Although this does not eliminate the chance of reverse engineering, it can make the process more costly. A compressed executable requires less storage space in the file system, thus less time to transfer data from the file system into ...

  3. Self-extracting archive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-extracting_archive

    [2] [3] Typically, self-extracting files for Microsoft operating systems such as DOS and Windows have a .exe extension, just like any other executable file. For example, an archive may be called "somefiles.zip—it", which can be opened under any operating system by a suitable archive manager that supports both the file format and compression ...

  4. JAR (file format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAR_(file_format)

    An executable Java program can be packaged in a JAR file, along with any libraries the program uses. Executable JAR files have the manifest specifying the entry point class with Main-Class: myPrograms.MyClass and an explicit Class-Path (and the -cp argument is ignored). Some operating systems can run these directly when clicked.

  5. Java class loader - Wikipedia

    The virtual machine will only load the class files required for executing the program. [2] The Java run time system does not need to know about files and file systems as this is delegated to the class loader. A software library is a collection of related object code. In the Java language, libraries are typically packaged in JAR files. Libraries ...

  7. Position-independent code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position-independent_code

    In computing, position-independent code [1] (PIC [1]) or position-independent executable (PIE) [2] is a body of machine code that executes properly regardless of its memory address. [ a ] PIC is commonly used for shared libraries , so that the same library code can be loaded at a location in each program's address space where it does not ...

  8. WAR (file format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAR_(file_format)

    A WAR file may be digitally signed in the same way as a JAR file in order to allow others to determine where the source code came from. There are special files and directories within a WAR file: The /WEB-INF directory in the WAR file contains a file named web.xml which defines the structure of the web application. If the web application is only ...

  9. Executable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable

    Executable files typically also include a runtime system, which implements runtime language features (such as task scheduling, exception handling, calling static constructors and destructors, etc.) and interactions with the operating system, notably passing arguments, environment, and returning an exit status, together with other startup and ...
