Programming in C

• Shared and Static Libraries

• Programs are usually compiled to share code with others, using shared libraries
• Memory occupancy is reduced (printf is >1Mb)
• Static libraries can be useful for applications that need to run on other systems
  where the shared library may not be present
• Use gcc -static to link with static libraries
