To re-iterate this: At the most basic level, a shared library enables
resolution of symbol references by the runtime linker with the ultimate
goal to get a program to run despite other files than the program file
itself are needed for this: Because of libsystemd, a systemd
sub-project, technically gratuitious calls to systemd-specific functions
can be inserted into unrelated applications.
I honestly understand why stating this as it is causes hostile
reactions.
