github.com/afumu/libc@v0.0.6/musl/README (about) 1 2 musl libc 3 4 musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed 5 implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall 6 API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl 7 offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code 8 and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct 9 usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and 10 safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best 11 achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain. 12 13 The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces 14 defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of 15 non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and 16 glibc functionality. 17 18 For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file. 19 Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system 20 bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on 21 the project website: 22 23 http://www.musl-libc.org/
