Who Loads And Links The Dlls?

1.	Who Loads And Links The Dlls?
Answer» Windows and Linux both has PE/ELF binary loader to load executable and MODULES. A loader in OS loads executable/extension when creating a process or when an application explicitly calls LOADLIBRARY() or LoadModule() to load a PARTICULAR executable. A loader loads any executable in the following steps. Find the executable in current/system/in PATH variable If not found through error If found check for signature of executable (say check signature of ELF ) for validity Load the code and data section in application/system address space. Links the IMPORTED symbols of the application with the exported symbols of the DLL. Windows and Linux both has PE/ELF binary loader to load executable and modules. A loader in OS loads executable/extension when creating a process or when an application explicitly calls LoadLibrary() or LoadModule() to load a particular executable. A loader loads any executable in the following steps.
