Direct binding
open-in-new
<p>Direct binding is a feature of the <a href="/facts/Linker_(computing)/pn1hztYe">linker</a> and <a href="/facts/Dynamic_linker/4vQ2J2xS">dynamic linker</a> on <a href="/facts/Solaris_(operating_system)/KPfT98EJ">Solaris</a> and <a href="/facts/OpenSolaris/7q5ouhPa">OpenSolaris</a>. It provides a method to allow libraries to directly bind symbols to other libraries, rather than weakly bind to them and leave the dynamic linker to figure out which library contains the symbol. </p>
