A library of procedures that programs can call on. The DLL produces output related to the supplied input. DLLs can be somewhat of a black box, as you don't...
A library of core elements required by the Windows architecture. It contains all the functions and definitions needed to communicate with a program at run time.
modular set of routines that link to their calling programs at run time rather than during compilation; standardizes a common set of routines used by more than one program.
A program module that contains executable code and data that can be used by application programs, or even by other DLLs, in performing a specific task.
a library of Java classes that can be accessed at runtime
A file in the Intel Dialogic system release that contains the Intel Dialogic library functions. Compare Library.
Allows executable routines -- generally serving a specific function or set of functions -- to be stored separately (as files with DLL extensions) that loaded only when needed by a program that calls them.
A program module that contains executable code and data that can be used by applications or other DLLs. The DLL is linked to the application only when the program runs, and is unlinked when it is no longer needed. This provides a more efficient use of limited memory. OpenVMS terminology would call these run-time library routines. However, Purveyor uses DLL for consistency with the Purveyor family and to properly indicate to the server that these are to be loaded into the server’s memory (.DLL files are loaded) instead of being executed as a subprocess (as .EXE files are).
A file containing executable code and data bound to a program at load time or run time, rather than during linking. Several applications can share the code and data in a dynamic link library simultaneously.
An executable file that a Windows application can load when needed.
This is a library of procedures that programs can call with input. The DLL produces output related to that input.
A library that is linked at load time or run time.
A file containing a dynamic link routine that is linked at load or run time.
A file containing executable code and data bound to a program at load time or run time. The code and data in a dynamic link library can be shared by several applications simultaneously.
A library of functions used by Windows© programmers
A program that can be dynamically called from another program.
A file of functions, compiled, linked, and saved separately from the processes that use them. Functions in DLLs can be used by more than one running process. The operating system maps the DLLs into the process's address space when the process is started up or while it is running. Dynamic link libraries are stored in files with the DLL file extension.
A software module in Microsoft Windows containing executable code and data that can be called or used by Windows applications or other DLLs. DLL functions and data are loaded and linked at run time when they are referenced by a Windows application or other DLLs.
A file containing executable code that is called by the execution of another file.
