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