You can't. There is no complete COFF specification. The closest that
anybody has ever gotten is the AT&T SVR3 documentation for particular
processors, and a book published by O'Reilly ("Understanding and Using
COFF") which is no longer in print. You need to put both
documentation sources together to get anything resembling a complete
specification. Neither is available online.
