Disassembly

In programming terminology, to disassemble is to convert a program in its executable (ready-to-run) form (sometimes called object code ) into a representation in some form of assembler language so that it is readable by a human. A program used to accomplish this is called a disassembler, because it performs the inverse of the task that an assembler does. Disassembly is a type of reverse engineering . Another such program, called a decompile r, converts object code back into the code of a higher-level language .
