|

|
## 📚 Library Types
|
|
|
|
Linux supports two main types of libraries:
|
|
|
|
1. **Static Libraries (`.a`)**
|
|
- Linked at **compile-time**
|
|
- Included in the final binary
|
|
- Larger file size, faster execution
|
|
|
|
2. **Shared Libraries (`.so`)**
|
|
- Linked at **run-time**
|
|
- Saved separately from the binary
|
|
- Saves space and allows updates without recompiling
|
