Industry:Computer; Software
(1) To create a load module from two or more independently translated object modules or load modules by resolving crossreferences among them.~(2) A part of a computer program, often a single instruction or address, that passes control and parameters between separate modules of the program.~(3) To provide a link as in (2).
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) To read data from a source, altering the contents of the source location, and to write the same data elsewhere in a physical form that may differ from that of the source. For example, to move data from one file to another. Contrast with: copy.~(2) Sometimes, a synonym for copy.
