linker
Joins object files
A linker is software that combines compiled code modules into a single executable program, resolving references between them.
In genetics, a linker is a short synthetic DNA sequence used to join larger fragments.
More generally, anything that connects or links: The chapter serves as a linker between the two main sections.
