| 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 |
| the project website: |
