There is no such thing in the C language, but it is true that operating systems have a component called loader which loads binary program-files (whose source may be written in C language) into the memory and prepares them to the execution.
Because static libraries are, well, STATIC. They are LINKed STATICally to the program by the LINKer. Shared libraries are SHARED. They are linked by the LOADer when LOADed to SHARED libraries in system memory.
In computer science, a linker or link editor is a program that takes one or more objects generated by a compiler and combines them into a single executable program.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinkerThis is a response to the question, "What is object linker?". The appropriate question would have been, "What is a linker or link editor in the field of Computer Science and Software Engineering?". Note that a linker is called a loader when it refers to a run-time process. Linkers refer to compile-time processes.
