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. The program is statically linked, so it is useful for making symbolic links to dynamic libraries if the dynamic linking system for some reason is nonfunctional.

In computing, a dynamic linker is the part of an operating system that loads and links the shared libraries needed by an executable when it is executed at run time, by copying the content of libraries from persistent storage to ram, filling jump tables and relocating pointers.
