File searches are important in loader processing. The loader utility supports
relative and absolute directory names, default directories, and
user-selected directories for file search paths. File searches occur as
described on page 1-16.
File Extensions
Some loader switches take a file name as an optional parameter.
Table 3-14 lists the expected file types, names, and extensions.
Table 3-14. File Extensions
Extension File Description
.dxe Input executable files and boot kernel files. The loader utility recognizes overlay
memory files (.ovl) and shared memory files (.sm), but does not expect these files
on the command line. Place .ovl and .sm files in the same directory as the .dxe
file that refers to them. The loader utility finds the files when processing the .dxe
file. The .ovl and .sm files may also be placed in the .ovl and .sm file output
directory specified in the .ldf file or current working directory.
.ldr Loader output file.
