What is Loader?

In software development, a loader is a crucial component of an operating system that is responsible for loading programs and libraries. It prepares the executable code for execution by copying the instructions and data from the program image (typically stored on disk) into memory. It also handles tasks like resolving symbolic references (linking), relocating code and data to the appropriate memory addresses, and initializing essential program components. Loaders can be part of the OS kernel or a separate utility program. In simpler terms, it's the piece of software that takes an executable file and gets it ready to run.
