Executable :
A binary file containing a program in
machine language which is ready to be executed (run).
The term might also be, but generally isn't, applied to
scripts which are interpreted by a command line
interpreter. Executables are distinguished in Unix by
having the execute permission bits set, at least for the
owner. MS-DOS uses the filename extension ".exe".
