what is a .la file

[Globe Trotter]

dear list,

i was looking into the qhull-devel package on extras, and I get a file which is in /usr/lib/libqhull.la. I have never seen a .la file before and so was wondering what this is, and how i should link to the library when calling. Any help?

thanks very much, and best wishes,
trotter
