COFF (Common Object File Format) is a file format for files containing machine code.

COFF is a file format originally used by early Unix systems for program objects and shared libraries. COFF has been largely superseded by ELF on modern unix-like systems.

COFF is in use in the Windows family of operating systems, in the form of the Windows™ Portable Executable format. It is also used in some embedded development environments.
