programming, tool (linkage editor, link loader) A program
that combines one or more files containing object code from
separately compiled program modules into a single file
containing loadable or executable code
This process involves resolving references between the
modules and fixing the relocation information used by the
operating system kernel when loading the file into memory to
run it.
Under Unix, the linker is called "ld" and object files
have filename extension .o (object), .so (shared object), or
.lib (library), and the resulting executable is called
"a.out" by default.
