What is a dynamic segment in a process?

Question

Operating Systems

Subject. I decided to figure out what the process is, what it consists of. The question appeared after reading the presentation (8 slide).

Answer 1

This segment contains data about the dynamic libraries with which the executable file is linked. There are pointers that will be configured by the loader during process startup. This is necessary because the same library can be loaded into a random memory area at the next start, and at the compilation stage, the addresses of functions and data structures from this library cannot be calculated.
