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:
