musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems
8a6bd7307d
notes added by maintainer: the '-' specifier allows default padding to be suppressed, and '_' allows padding with spaces instead of the default (zeros). these extensions seem to be included in several other implementations including FreeBSD and derivatives, and Solaris. while portable software should not depend on them, time format strings are often exposed to the user for configurable time display. reportedly some python programs also use and depend on them. |

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
