| Rich Felker | 4b0f39c | 2014-03-20 02:24:10 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4 | musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed |
| 5 | implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall |
| 6 | API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl |
| 7 | offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code |
| 8 | and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct |
| 9 | usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and |
| 10 | safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best |
| 11 | achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain. |
