täidesitavad

"Täidesitavad" is an Estonian term that translates to "executable" in English. It refers to files or programs that can be run by a computer's operating system. These files contain machine code or instructions that the processor can directly interpret and execute. Executable files are essential for the operation of any computer system, as they are the means by which software applications, system utilities, and the operating system itself function.

In computing, executables typically have specific file extensions depending on the operating system. For example, on Windows, common executable extensions include .exe and .com. On Unix-like systems, such as Linux and macOS, executables are not necessarily identified by extensions, but rather by their file permissions, specifically the "execute" permission bit. When a user or the system attempts to open or run an executable file, the operating system loads the program's code into memory and directs the processor to begin executing the instructions within that code. This process allows users to interact with software and for the computer to perform its intended tasks. The integrity and security of executable files are crucial, as malicious code can be disguised as legitimate executables.
