There is an article about the ELF format in one of the USENIX conference
proceedings, 1992 or so. The Solaris ABI (Application Binary Interface)
books, which may also be out of print, describe ELF in painfully
complete detail.


I think that COFF is less of a standard; there are many COFF-derived
file formats, including even Microsoft's PE format.
