From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
library {functions} stored in one or more files, usually in compiled form, for linking with other programs. Libraries are one of the earliest forms of organised {code reuse}. They are often supplied by the {operating system} or {software development environment} developer to be used in many different programs. The routines in a library may be general purpose or designed for some specific function such as three dimensional animated graphics. Libraries are linked with the user's program to form a complete {executable}. The linking may be {static linking} or, in some systems, {dynamic linking}. (1998-11-21) | |
