musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems

the (unused) speed fields were omitted when these ports were first added (within this release cycle, so not present in any release yet) in accordance with how glibc defines the structure on mips archs. however their omission does not match existing musl practice/intent. glibc provides its own, mostly-unified termios structure definition and performs translation in userspace to match the kernel structure for the arch, but has gratuitous differences on a few archs like mips, presumably as a result of historical mistakes. some other libcs use the kernel definitions directly. musl essentially does that, by matching the kernel layout in the part of the structure the kernel will read/write, but leaves additional space at the end for extensibility. these are nominally the (nonstandard) speed fields and (on most archs) extra c_cc elements, but since they are not used they could be repurposed if there's ever a need. |

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
