| - | A **Static Library** or **Statically-Linked Library** is a set of routines, external functions and variables which are resolved in a caller at compile-time and copied into a target [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:a:application|application]] by a [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:compiler|compiler]], linker, or binder, producing an object file and a stand-alone executable. This executable and the process of compiling it are both known as a static build of the program.

| They are usually faster than the shared libraries because a set of commonly used object files is put into a single library [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:e:exec|executable file]]. One can build multiple executables without the need to recompile the file. Because it is a single file to be built, use of link commands are simpler than shared library link commands, because you specify the name of the static library. | They are usually faster than the shared libraries because a set of commonly used object files is put into a single library [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:e:exec|executable file]].
