musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems
f2c6dbe244
maintainer's note: while musl does not use the linux kernel headers, it does provide these three sys/* headers which do nothing but include the corresponding linux/* headers, since the sys/* versions are the ones documented for application use (and they arguably provide interfaces that are not linux-specific but common to other unices). these headers should probably not be provided by libc (rather by a separate package), but as long as they are, use the bits header framework as an aid to out-of-tree ports of musl for non-linux systems that want to implement them in some other way. |

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
