What is "exec format error"?

I just got this log file which contains only one line: ``` STDERR: standard_init_linux.go:175: exec user process caused "exec format error" ``` Does anyone know what this means?

I just forgot to include the **shebang** at the top of my shell script. That's all.
Hi Li, Can you please describe briefly the error and its solution? This may help other participants who bump into the same error. Thanks!
Hi Bruce, I solved the problem. Don't worry. It was just a silly mistake.
I had not seen this before. There seems to be some discussion/guidance [here](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/23865).
