| musl libc - a new standard library to power a new generation of |
| Linux-based devices. musl is lightweight, fast, simple, free, and |
| strives to be correct in the sense of standards-conformance and |
| safety. |
| |
| musl is an alternative to glibc, eglibc, uClibc, dietlibc, and klibc. |
| For reasons why one might prefer musl, please see the FAQ and libc |
| comparison chart on the project website, |

| For installation instructions, see the INSTALL file. |

| Greetings libc hackers! |
| |
| This package is an _alpha_ release of musl, intended for the curious |
| and the adventurous. While it can be used to build a complete small |
| Linux system (musl is self-hosted on the system I use to develop it), |
| at this point doing so requires a lot of manual effort. Nonetheless, I |
| hope low-level Linux enthusiasts will try out building some compact |
| static binaries with musl using the provided gcc wrapper (which allows |
| you to link programs with musl on a "standard" glibc Linux system), |
| find whatever embarassing bugs I've let slip through, and provide |
| feedback on issues encountered building various software against musl. |
| |
| For bug reports, support requests, or to get involved in development, |
| please visit #musl on Freenode IRC or subscribe to the musl mailing |
| list by sending a blank email to musl-subscribe AT lists DOT openwall |
| DOT com. |
| |
| Thank you for trying out musl. |
| |
| Cheers, |
| |
