Loader:
The loader consumes the linker's
output files (.DXE) to produce a
C-language source file (.H)
that contains data
structures representing the
executable.

The source code emitted by the loader is essentially arrays and structures
representing the executable's sections and their contents. Refer to the
comments contained within the generated
