- Linking is process of collecting and maintaining piece of code and data into a single file.
- Linker also link a particular module into system library. It takes object modules from assembler as input and forms an executable file as output for loader.
- Linking is performed at both compile time, when the source code is translated into machine code and load time, when the program is loaded into memory by the loader. Linking is performed at the last step in compiling a program.
