PE format

The PE (Portable Executable) format is a file structure used by Windows operating systems for executable files, like programs and DLLs. It organizes code, data, resources, and metadata in a way that the operating system can load and run the software efficiently. Think of it as a well-structured blueprint that tells the OS where everything is located within the file, ensuring the program starts correctly and functions properly. It's an essential format that helps Windows manage and execute applications seamlessly.
