hi i m sorry for this noob question but there something i don't get i was reading abt File format like PE for example i was wondering how is C unverisal on MAC win and unix since they use diffrent file format does C takes care of each file format while compiling like it has pre defined file format in it or that's compiler specific ?

C can be transfered to different machines because the standard library abstracts away may of these details...i.e. The language is the same but each machine gets its own standard library to handle these details. So when you transfer source code between machines and recompile the standard library makes sure everything lines up for that machine...
