[Mono-list] Linux - Mono - Image Files...?

[Allen Copeland]

Salutations,

I'm a newbie when it comes to the Mono project, so forgive me if my
question seems naive.

I'm researching the Common Language Infrastructure aka ECMA-335, and
one of the goals is to be able to read and write PortableExecutable
images, as well as libraries constructed through a project I'm working
on.

Into that goal, one of the things I need to know is what format Linux
uses to marshal executable binaries, so I figured I would ask a Mono-CLI
specific question: what format does Linux (which I've never used) use for
its executable images, and what does Mono, on Linux, use to handle managed
image loading?

Thanks in advance,
