  The terse C library run-time link dept 
 The Question is:
 
how can I know if a C library is 'run-time' linked?
 
 
 The Answer is:
 
  Your question is sufficiently terse as to be unanswerable.
 
  OpenVMS does not specifically have a construct or an entity
  known as a "C library", nor specifically a concept of a
  library that is 'run-time' linked.
 
  For details on shareable images, please see the available
  shareable image cookbook at the Ask The Wizard website.
 
  For details on libraries (object, help, shareable image,
  macro, etc), please see the Librarian documentation.
 
  For information on analyzing images, please see the DUMP
  command and the ANALYZE/IMAGE tool.
 
  For information on the LINKER and LINK maps, please see the
  LINKER documentation.  For compiler listings, please see the
  compiler documentation.
 
  To determine which libraries are automatically referenced
  by the LINKER, please see IMAGELIB.OLB, any LNK* logical
  names that might be defined, the LINKER command used,
  the LINKER options file(s) used, and particularly please
  see the language-specific programming documentation, the
  OpenVMS Programming Concepts manual, and the LINKER manual.
 
  There is no way to directly determine if modules from an
  object library are included into a particular executable
  image, short of looking at the LINK map, the code, or at
  the binary contents of the image (seeking the footprint of
  any code extracted from the object library).
 
  You can determine which shareable images are referenced by
  another shareable image or by an executeable image, see the
  ANALYZE/IMAGE tool.
