What is glibc?
→ 日本語版を読むglibc is a library of programs that form the foundation of the Linux system, including system calls.
An implementation of the standard library "libc" by the "GNU Project." The name for the C language standard library is libc (lib-c), which is a collection of basic "components" commonly used by many programs, including system calls.
In Linux, which inherits the characteristics of UNIX, much software has historically been written in C, and glibc can be said to form the very foundation of the Linux system. glibc is almost fully compliant with the ISO C, POSIX, and Unix98 standards, and also has well-organized internationalization APIs.
