Acronym: Dynamically Linked Library
From Webopedia definition (http://webopedia.com/TERM/D/DLL.html):
- “A library of executable functions or data that can be used by a Windows application. Typically, a DLL provides one or more particular functions and a program accesses the functions by creating either a static or dynamic link to the DLL. A static link remains constant during program execution while a dynamic link is created by the program as needed. DLLs can also contain just data. DLL files usually end with the extension .dll, .exe., drv, or .fon.”
