What is the medium of dynamic linking for other operating systems like Macintosh and Linux?

Hello,
Libraries loaded at load or run time are generally called shared objects, or shared libraries (in .so format, and linked as one with any tool-chain such as GCC.)
A useful resource in naming conventions, compilation linking and others you can visit tldp.org:
Shared Libraries
Actually I believe Mac uses a slightly different dynamic library scheme, dylib format:
Creating working dylibs

Linux uses the .so files stored in /lib, /usr/lib, etc. Mac OS X uses .dylib files. I don't know how to use them though.
Programming is a journey, not a destination.
