Hello,

I would like to know what represents the addresses found in objdump of a 
binary? Are these the address where the file will be eventually mapped 
to? or are these addresses the organization inside the binary file?

When a file is executed the address space assigned to it is equal from 
process to process, is this information contained in the binary file or 
it is generated/assigned by the operational system?

In general terms, what does a ELF executable file contain? anyone can 
point to a website with a graphical view of this format?

Thanks,
