21.2 System-Supplied Libraries
If symbols are unresolved after the OpenVMS Linker (linker)
searches all user-supplied libraries, the linker goes on to
search the files in the default system library. The OpenVMS
system supplies the following libraries:
TABLE: Click to display table.
The linker searches modules in the following order:
The linker only includes references to needed shareable
images in the image being created. You can use the
/NOSYSSHR qualifier to the LINK command to suppress
the linker's search of RTL shareable images. Similarly, you
can use the /NOSYSLIB qualifier to suppress the linker's
search of both RTL shareable images and STARLET.OLB.
The linker searches user-supplied libraries before search-
ing the default system library. If one of your modules has
the same name (program symbol) as an OpenVMS System
Service or an RTL routine, the linker includes your module
in the resulting image rather than the system service or RTL
routine.
