Such linkers typically also have a shared library that is linked with the executable when it is compiled and may determine the actions of the linker. One shared library,in addition to being loaded statically or dynamically, are also often classified according to how they are shared among programs. In Linux the dynamic linker shared libraries, tipically are based on a common set of environment variables, including LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD. In this text we will use the LD_PRELOAD variable. When LD_PRELOAD is set, the dynamic linker will use the specified library before any other when it searches for shared libraries. Now imagine that our process is the next code
