File Extensions
Some loader switches take a file name as an optional parameter. Table 2-9
lists the expected file types, names, and extensions.
Table 2-9. File Extensions
Extension File Description
.dxe Loader input files, boot kernel files, and initialization files
.ldr Loader output file
.knl Loader output files containing kernel code only when two output files are selected
In some cases the loader utility expects the overlay input files with the file
extension of .ovl, shared memory input files with the extension of .sm, or
both, but does not expect those files to appear on a command line or on
the Load property page. The loader utility finds these files in the directory
of the associated .dxe files, in the current working directory, or in the
directory specified in the .ldf file.
