library
a collection of subroutines and
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.
