Why would you want to develop a shared library? Isn’t it enough to just share the source code for other developers to use? Shared libraries offer several benefits over directly integrating its source code.
It’s called a shared library, because different applications can load and access the same shared library at the same time. Consequently, the application can access and call the functions embedded inside the shared library. Upon execution, an application dynamically loads the shared library’s. It packs compiled code of functionality that other developers might want to use in their own application(s). so extension, which stands for Shared Object.
On Linux a shared library is a file with the. In essence a shared library enables you to share functionality with other developers, in an easy-to-use and efficient format. This includes the pkg-config file, which makes it easy for developers to compile and link the shared library to their application. We’ll also cover the installation of the resulting shared library on the end-user’s Linux system.
