Hi,
    Can anyone explain how a dynamic linkingworks?

For Ex, in Linux, 'insmod' will dynamically link the obj file
of a module to the kernel.
In this case, how does the bss,txt,data for the obj module will fit in the
kernel bss,txt and data segments?(i may be wrong ..i dont know)

So does this mean kernel would have reserverd enough space in the bss,txt
and data segment for a future "to be inserted" module?

Please explain...

Thanks
Uday
