Action name: ProduceExeEnter a file name for the new executable file. Usually this command is used after patching (see commands Patch byte and Patch word) to obtain a patched version of the file.
IDA produces executable files only for:
- MS DOS .exe - MS DOS .com - MS DOS .drv - MS DOS .sys - general binary - Intel Hex Object Format - MOS Technology Hex Object FormatFor other file formats please create a difference file.
NOTE: only Patch byte/word commands affect the executable file contents, other commands (including User-Specified String for the #th Operand) will not affect the content of the disassembled file.
EXE files: Output files will have the same EXE-header and relocation table as the input file. IDA will fill unused ranges of the EXE file (e.g. between relocation table and loadable pages) with zeroes.
