I have some other questions... please be patient, i'm a newbie

How can the linker know which library contains the requested function?

Does the compiler leave a blank space (filled with code found in the
libraries or in other files of my project by the linker) when it reads a
function? If not what does it do?

Does the compiler create separate object file for each one of the *.c files
i've written? or are those file joined by the linker?

Thank you, DevarajA
