I just think it's neat that the canonical script package is an Linux ELF binary.
- pdpi 2y agoIs there anything Linux-specific about ELF? I was under the impression it's a pretty common format for executables, used by a whole bunch of systems. It certainly predates Linux, as it was (according to Wikipedia) introduced in 1988 with SVR4.
- gmueckl 2y agoThe ELF format is shared between different platforms. There are identifiers for the target OS and CPU in the ELF header.
