Hi all,

I am working using a windows system. I have a program which load a ffs driver file in .out format. May i know how to i interpret the .out format as i want to load it in my program to use it. By any chance is there a way to view its contents? I have come across a website that describes .out file. But i have no idea how to use it.

Thanks in advance!!

Unlike Windows/DOS, Unix files do not depend on the file extension as an indication of file type. The format may be one of any of a large number of possible types. However, it is most probably going to be COFF or ELF. Open the file with a hex editor. If you see ELF or COFF near the beginning, it should be rather obvious what type of file it is.

If you don't have a hex editor, open the file using MS Notepad. You should be able to see the word ELF or COFF in the first few characters of the file.
