I understand that a static library is incorporated in the ELF loadable file. The program and file are loaded as a single 'core-image'. In a shared-object library is the library 'incorporated' into the 'core-image' at run time to be effectively the same as would have been achieved with a static library? Or have I missed something?

I am seeking knowledge and would welcome a URL reference to elucidate.
