glibc (aka libc6) is the GNU projects' Standard C library.

In addition to providing the functionality required by ISO-C99, Unix98, Single Unix Specification, and POSIX 1c, 1d, and 1j, Glibc also provides extensions which have been deemed useful or necessary while developing GNU.

GLibc is very portable, both across kernels and across hardware. The officially supported hardware includes: i*86, mk68, alpha, powerpc, arm, cris, mips, s390, and sparc. The kernels it is known to run on are: Hurd, Linux kernel, and the kernels of FreeBSD and NetBSD).

As of March 2004, the latest version of is 2.3.2.
