⁠What is glibc?

The GNU C Library project⁠ provides the core libraries for the GNU system and GNU/Linux systems, as well as many other systems that use Linux as the kernel. These libraries provide critical APIs including ISO C11, POSIX.1-2008, BSD, OS-specific APIs and more. These APIs include such foundational facilities as open, read, write, malloc, printf, getaddrinfo, dlopen, pthread_create, crypt, login, exit and more.

The GNU C Library is designed to be a backwards compatible, portable, and high performance ISO C library. It aims to follow all relevant standards including ISO C11, POSIX.1-2008, and IEEE 754-2008.

The project was started circa 1988 and is more than 30 years old.

⁠Glibc-Builder Docker Image

The team publishes a oowy/glibc-builder Docker image to this repository.

oowy/glibc-builder is a Docker image containing scripts to compile and build the GNU C Standard Library (glibc) for Linux operating systems. It provides automated scripts to compile the glibc library for different architectures, enabling easy deployment of C programs across various Linux systems.

This image is particularly useful for developers working on C projects to ensure compatibility and portability of their applications.
