lib
Library. In Unix, the directories /lib
and /usr/lib traditionally contain files with filename
extension ".lib" that are special archives containing
modules of standard object code. In modern Unixes the same
directories contain ".so" (shared object) files, which are
similar except that the object code they contain is designed
to be loaded once and shared by all application code that
needs it, thus saving memory.
