+
+|Argument|Description|
+|-|-|
+*library*|The name of a library to search when resolving external references.
+
+## Remarks
+
+The **/DEFAULTLIB** option adds one *library* to the list of libraries that LINK searches when resolving references. A library specified with **/DEFAULTLIB** is searched after libraries specified explicitly on the command line and before default libraries named in .obj files.
+
+When used without arguments, the [/NODEFAULTLIB (Ignore All Default Libraries)](../../build/reference/nodefaultlib-ignore-libraries.md) option overrides all **/DEFAULTLIB**:*library* options. The **/NODEFAULTLIB**:*library* option overrides **/DEFAULTLIB**:*library* when the same *library* name is specified in both.
+
+### To set this linker option in the Visual Studio development environment
+
+1. Open the project **Property Pages** dialog box. For more information, see [Working with Project Properties](../../ide/working-with-project-properties.md).
+
+1. Select the **Configuration Properties** > **Linker** > **Command Line** property page.
+
+1. In **Additional Options**, enter a **/DEFAULTLIB**:*library* option for each library to search. Choose **OK** to save your changes.
