Relocatable Object Module Format (OMF) Specification

Where there were conflicts among these source documents, the TIS Committee resolved them.
Certain issues regarding the different OMFs that contribute to this standard have been clarified
for Version 1.1. After an extensive review, the TIS Committee has made the following changes:
• The name string subfields in various records are more consistent.
• The public name fields in the COMDAT, LINSYM, and NBKPAT records were revised.
• The LINNUM record was revised.
• The COMDEF record was revised to include Borland VIRDEF record information.
• The library names hashing algorithm in Appendix 2 was revised.
This document is intended for individuals who have a background knowledge of how source
code is converted into an executable file. For details on a particular vendor-extension of the
OMF, refer to the appropriate vendor's documentation.
Note that this specification is not applicable for vendors choosing to build products with the
Executable and Linkable Format (ELF), because ELF is both a linkable and loadable
specification.
