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: | |
