Global Offset Table
text:
The Global Offset Table, or GOT, is a section of a computer program's memory used to enable computer program code compiled as an ELF file to run correctly, independent of the memory address where the program's code or data is loaded at runtime. It maps symbols in programming code to their corresponding absolute memory addresses to facilitate Position Independent Code (PIC) and Position Independent Executables (PIE) which are loaded to a different memory address each time the program is started.
