name = GNU C Library
Glibc is the GNU Project 's C Standard Library . It is Free Software and is available under the GNU Lesser General Public License . The lead contributor and maintainer is Ulrich Drepper . In addition to providing the functionality required by Unix98 , Single UNIX Specification , POSIX (1c, 1d, and 1j) and some of the functionality required by ISO C99 , Glibc also provides extensions which have been deemed useful or necessary while developing the GNU Operating System . Glibc is used in systems which run many different , Motorola 680x0 , DEC Alpha , PowerPC , ARM , ETRAX CRIS , MIPS , S390 , and SPARC . It officially supports the Hurd and Linux kernels, although there are heavily patched versions that run on the kernels of FreeBSD and NetBSD (from which GNU/kFreeBSD and GNU/kNetBSD systems are built, respectively). It is also used (in an edited form) as the ''libroot'' of BeOS and hence Haiku . Glibc version 2 has been referred to by Linux users as ''libc6'', because it replaced the older Linux C library version 5 (''libc5''). This name is uncommon nowadays. EXTERNAL LINKS > |
