By design, the ELF format is flexible, extensible, and [[cross-platform]]. For instance, it supports different [[endiannesses]] and address sizes so it does not exclude any particular [[central processing unit|CPU]] or [[instruction set architecture]]. This has allowed it to be adopted by many different [[operating system]]s on many different hardware [[Computing platform|platforms]]. | By design, the ELF format is flexible, extensible, and [[cross-platform]].
