|  |  | 
|  | 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 |
