What is an E file?

E files mostly belong to Various. The E file extension is used by different programs, so its purpose depends on its origin.
Some E files are encrypted files that hold secured data. In these cases, the file may be a container for sensitive information or design content.
Other E files work as executable modules. For example, a file using the EXE structure may be a self‐extracting archive that can be handled by tools like 7-Zip (7-Zip), or it might be an ELF executable on Linux (ELF).
There are also cases where a E file stores data such as EEG recordings used in medical analysis (supported by software from NicoletOne or Persyst EEG Software, see Natus), simulation outputs like the Exodus II file format, or even satellite ephemeris and orbit data managed in Systems Tool Kit (STK).
Other uses include specialized modules for games (for example, a Neverwinter Nights module verified by EasyAntiCheat), source code files related to EiffelStudio, and ebook containers like encrypted EPUB documents (often using a ZIP structure and accessible via Calibre, see Calibre) or even PDF documents viewed with Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Use Cases:

• Encrypted data storage and secured design files
• Self-extracting archives and executable modules
• EEG and simulation data files
• Ebook and document containers
• Game module and source code files
• Satellite orbit (ephemeris) data
