| musl libc | |
| musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed | |
| implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall | |
| API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl | |
| offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code | |
| and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct | |
| usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and | |
| safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best | |
| achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain. | |
| The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces | |
| defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of | |
| non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and | |
| glibc functionality. | |
| For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file. | |
| Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system | |
| bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on | |
