本标准规定了任意字长和体系结构的二进制计算机的可链接、可重定位和绝对对象模块的格式。规定了两个合规级别，最低和完全合规。 最低合规性级别提供了足够的灵活性，可以链接单独编译的模块，以简单的方式重新定位地址，并使用最小的加载程序加载生成的绝对对象模块。 完全符合性级别提供了最低级别的所有功能，并为其添加了任意地址表达式处理、类型检查功能、库管理员控制命令和其他有用的功能，以实现完全的通用性。 一致性实现可扩展MUFOM的命令或功能集，以提高处理机器特定要求的效率，但包含此类扩展的目标模块不应被视为符合本标准。本标准未规定此类扩展。

This standard specifies the format of linkable, relocatable, and absolute object modules for binary computers of arbitrary word size and architecture. Two levels of compliance are specified, minimum and full. The minimum compliance level affords sufficient flexibility to link separately compiled modules, to relocate addresses in simple ways, and to load the resulting absolute object modules with a minimal loader. The full compliance level affords all of the functionality of the minimum level and adds to it arbitrary address expression handling, type checking capability, librarian control commands, and other useful functions for full generality. A conforming implementation may extend the command or function set of MUFOM for greater efficiency in dealing with machine-specific requirements, but object modules containing such extensions shall not be said to be conforming to this standard. Such extensions are not specified in this standard.
