The linker can be used to produce static executable object modules. An executable object module has the same format as object files that are used as linker input. The sections in an executable object module, however, have been combined and placed in target memory, and the relocations are all resolved.
To run a program, the data in the executable object module must be transferred, or loaded, into target system memory. See Chapter 4 for details about loading and running programs.
