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/Linker

This 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.
