- Description
- A Static Library, typically denoted by the file extensions `.a` on Unix-like systems or `.lib` on Windows, is a collection of compiled object code modules that are linked into applications during the build process, rather than being loaded dynamically at runtime. This type of library contains a set of routines, external functions and variables, which are resolved and incorporated into the final executable file by a linker.
- .TBZ is a file that contains TAR archived files then compresses them using BZIP compression algorithm. Commonly used with UNIX OS.
