//! Object file construction and processing.
//!
//! An _[object file][]_ contains relocatable compiled code, symbol tables,
//! and other information produced by the compiler.
//! It is the responsibility of the [linker](super::ld) to construct a final
//! executable from these files.
//!
//! [object file]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_file
//!
//! The only object file currently supported by TAMER is the [`xmlo`]
//! format,
//! produced by the XSLT compiler.
//! It will likely be replaced with [ELF] object files in the future.
