I don’t know what the exact executable file extension is. Is it
.debor.tar.gz?
Answer
| Linux extension | Windows Equivalent | Short description |
|---|---|---|
| .so, .o | .dll | Object that can be loaded at runtime (Similar to DLL) |
| .a | .lib | Static library |
| [none], .elf(rare), | .exe, .com(rare) | Linux executables |
| .bin(rare) | ||
| .sh | .bat | Shell script |
| .exe | .exe | Mono application, Wine application |
| .deb | .msi | Installer package for Debian/Ubuntu releases |
| (Though .deb is much more powerful with native support for dependencies and repos). Note that .deb is actually a .tar archive with a special control file, a special file order, and a different extension. | ||
| .rpm | .msi | Installer package for RedHat/CentOS releases. |
| .tar.gz, .tar, .gz | .zip | Compressed files that can contain a program or any other data, like images, documents, etc |
| .ko | .sys | Drivers and kernel modules are loaded into the Linux kernel and have more hardware access than other programs. |
| .sh, .php, .py, etc | .bat, .cmd, .vbs, | Linux is capable of running any file that it has an interpreter for. |
| .js | A line at the top of the file called the shebang specifies what interpreter to run the file with. | |
| Windows only supports .bat and .cmd files as Batch files, and .vbs (vbscript) and .js (JScript, not to be confused with JavaScript) via the Windows Script Host (WSH). |
