I opened the exit executable with Emacs to play around with that
example from chapter 3. This is the first time I see a binary file, but
the help of Hexl mode explains very well how to interpret the buffer.
I've got a few questions:
* Is there a more or less direct relationship between the fetch-execute
cycle outlined in chapter 2 and those numbers?
* Are those same bytes the ones loaded in memory before the program is
executed? I mean, is that the real stuff the computer finally
understands?
* Why is the executable six times bigger than the source file?
