Linux DLL

Linux DLL definition - computer

An external software module used by the Linux operating system. The official name for this type of module is a "shared object" or "shared library," but due to the universal embrace of Windows, which uses DLLs, the DLL term occasionally creeps into Linux lingo. See DLL.
