1 2 musl libc 3 4musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed 5implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall 6API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl 7offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code 8and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct 9usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and 10safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best 11achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain. 12 13The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces 14defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of 15non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and 16glibc functionality. 17 18For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file. 19Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system 20bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on 21the project website: 22 23 http://www.musl-libc.org/ 24
