Dynamic linker
Also called dynamic linking or late linking
- Snippet from Wikipedia: Dynamic linker
A dynamic linker is an operating system feature that loads and links dynamic libraries for an executable at runtime, before or while it is running. Although the details vary by operating system, typically, a dynamic linker copies the content of each library from persistent storage to RAM, fills jump tables and relocates pointers.
Linking is often referred to as a process that is performed when the executable is compiled, while a dynamic linker is a special part of an operating system that loads external shared libraries into a running process and then binds those shared libraries dynamically to the running process. This approach is also called dynamic linking or late linking.
