Syntax: LIBRARY [libraryname] [PRIVATELIB]
Identifies the main output file as a DLL. LIBRARY can also specify
a name for the .DLL file. If LIBRARY is specified, the NAME
statement cannot be used. LIBRARY or NAME must precede all other
statements. If neither is used, the default is NAME.
Arguments can appear in any order. If <libraryname> is specified,
it becomes the base name of the .DLL file. This name can be any
valid filename. LINK assumes a .DLL extension whether or not an
extension is specified. If <libraryname> contains a space, begins
with a nonalphabetic character, or is a reserved word, enclose it
in double quotation marks. The name cannot exceed 255 characters
(not including surrounding quotation marks). The default is the
base name of the DLL. The <libraryname> overrides a name specified
in LINK's <exefile> field.
See: ◄Reserved Words►
Specify PRIVATELIB to tell Windows that only one application may
use the DLL.
