What's on this Page
The lib file extension is used for one of the Linker Input files.
LINK accepts COFF standard libraries and COFF import libraries, both of which usually have the extension .lib.
Linker input libraries contain objects and are created by the LIB tool.
Linker import libraries contain information about exports in other programs and are created either by LINK when it builds a program that contains exports or by the LIB tool.
