utførbare

utførbare is a Norwegian word that translates to "executable" in English. It refers to a file or program that can be run by a computer's operating system. In computing, an executable file contains instructions that the processor can directly understand and execute to perform a specific task. These files often have specific file extensions depending on the operating system, such as .exe on Windows, .app on macOS, or no extension or specific binary formats on Linux. The concept of utførbare is fundamental to how software operates, allowing users to interact with applications and perform various functions on their devices. When a user initiates an action that requires a program, the operating system locates the corresponding utførbare file and loads it into memory for execution. This process involves the CPU reading and processing the machine code within the utførbare file, thereby carrying out the intended operations. The term emphasizes the capability of a file to be put into action or to be performed.
