An .o file, also known as an object file, is a file that is created when a source code file is compiled by a compiler. It contains machine code, but is not yet an executable file.
The object file contains the compiled source code along with additional information such as debugging symbols and references to other pieces of code that the compiled code calls upon. These .o files are then linked together by a linker to create an executable file. This process allows for separate compilation of source files, which can speed up the development process. The .o file format is used in various programming languages, including C, C++, and Assembly.
