[TUHS] What does `ld` stand for?

[Ralph Corderoy via TUHS]

Hi Chris,

> My friend, taking an OS course was wondering what `ld` stood for.

ld(1) stands for loader.

    A simpler version that writes its output directly to memory is
    called the loader — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linker_(computing)
